MrJACK Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 Hi I have a short deadline and a 400 pages book with picture. I was unable to export my text in 100% black… it seems to be converted in CMYB color. I really need help. My text are in global color black… pictures are correctly converted… in a robot the pdf show thé problem. Help wanted. Quote
Old Bruce Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 You say your text is in global color black. Is that global colour defined in CMYK or RGB? Use CMYK 0 0 0 100 for the Global Colour. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.6.0 | Affinity Photo 2.6.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.0 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
MrJACK Posted July 23, 2021 Author Posted July 23, 2021 Hi thanks for your help... Document setting was in CMYK/8 Uncoated Prograf 29. I insert some RVB image inside it. The image converted well... i check the Global Color for my text, it seems to be in CMYK too... with 0,0,0,100. i export It using the "PDF print setting" with black overprint checked , and color conversion checked too... see a page linked below... test.pdf Quote

David Cantor Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 Mr Jack, delighted that you solved your problem with the help of the good people on this forum, it sounds very similar to the one that I have. To be honest, I'm not that good at this tech stuff and I'm struggling, my brain and eyes are tired from looking at tutorials. Can you or anyone else give me an idiot's guide to creating and setting Global Colour? Thanks David Quote
thadeusz Posted August 3, 2021 Posted August 3, 2021 One question concerning pure black and color profiles: I had a document with FOGRA39 (for coated paper) and had to change it to FOGRA29 (uncoated paper). Every style I had applied was disconnected after changing color profile. Did this happen to anybody as well? What I did: - changed my color profile in document - found out in Acrobat that all pure blacks were changed into CMYK mixed blacks, also text - I used global colors and text styles, but they didn't update the color anymore Is this just my problem?

Wosven Posted August 3, 2021 Posted August 3, 2021 Try to Assign a new profile, instead of converting the colours [edit] Do this with the document where Black = 100K [/edit] Quote
thadeusz Posted August 3, 2021 Posted August 3, 2021 Ah, ok, I was not sure. But I don't really understand why it would be useful to convert 100% black into a weird four color mix, especially when it's text or a graphic element. And one more problem - I can change this setting, but it's not staying. When I reopen this document config, it's back at convert. Quote

You ask it to convert colours, it converts. Now, if you assign a profile, it doesn't have to convert anything, and the colours keep their values. 1 hour ago, thadeusz said: I can change this setting, but it's not staying. When I reopen this document config, it's back at convert. You don't mind what the default button is, just check that it kept the right profile Quote
