I have the CS2 suite under XP and a problem.
My blacks in Photoshop, Indesign & Illustrater default to a rich black as opposed to a 100% K black, which is what I want. By default, I mean whenever I start any of these applications, create a new document and apply black to a color, it’s a rich black.
The defaults color for the rich black varies from application to application also:
Indesign
C-57
m-46
y-47
K-76
Photoshop
c-75
m-68
Y-67
K-90
Illustrater
c-56
m-47
y-47
K83
We’re a newspaper and our profile is set to:
Ink colors: Swop (Newsprint)
Dot Gain: Standard- 20%
Separation Type GCR
Black Generation- Light
Black Ink Limit- 90%
Total Ink Limit- 240%
UCA Amount- O
How do I set up a color profile to make all the blacks default to 100% K? Or am I going about this the wrong way?
