This relates to the use of colours within artwork. Whether the artwork is black and white, full colour, or two spot colour, how the artwork is set up can make a difference to the prepress people who have to turn the artwork into printed matter. For example, if creating artwork which is to be black and white, are the photographs going to be converted to greyscale or left as RGB files, assuming that the printer will print the job as composite? Ever wondered why the Pantone colour chosen looks nothing like the swatch in the full-colour artwork?
