RGB versus CMYK

Sending documents to an HP Designjet printer that contain images saved in red-green-blue (RGB) color will result in a successful print despite the fact that the printer uses only CMYK inks. The printer has the ability to convert the color of RGB images to CMYK for printing using color management profiles.

Even mixed source (images in RGB and CMYK color) documents can be printed successfully with HP Designjet printers.

However, for the best color quality of images, it's important to follow Hewlett-Packard's work-flow recommendations for specific applications.

On the right are links to work flows for a range of popular applications.
