Printed copies

[Derek-Jones]

Opened to record the issues around getting a copy physically printed.

If you have suggestions or comments, please add them.

One of the few companies offering A4 color printing, for non-trivial numbers of pages, are: IngramSpark. They require that the pdf be in PDF/X and that the color format be cmyk (rather than rgb, a common requirement for larger printers, I'm told).; see page 11.

It is possible that the images are too close to the edge of the page. I'm working on getting a trial print.

Ghostscript can be used to convert from RGB to CMYK:

gs -o ESEUR-cmyk.pdf \
   -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \
   -sProcessColorModel=DeviceCMYK \
   -sColorConversionStrategy=CMYK \
   -sColorConversionStrategyForImages=CMYK \
    ../ESEUR.pdf

If you want to try and get the colors produced by your printer to match those that appear on screen, some tools try try include:

• Imagemagick's convert tool.

• The Cyan tool.
