I'd like to ask if color profiles are now included in PDFs generated by Prince. I saw a post that indicated they were not included as of version 5, but perhaps the situation has changed.
I ask because I will be publishing my document (my first created with Prince) through the HP print-on-demand service MagCloud. In their documentation they say
"When your MagCloud PDF is sent to an HP Indigo digital press for printing, the press will convert any non-CMYK content to CMYK prior to printing. The press does this conversion automatically based on the color profiles that have been embedded in your file. If there are no color profiles embedded in your file, this conversion will be based on the default color settings of the press, which could result in a color output that is different from what you see on screen.
Therefore, to ensure you get the best output possible, we encourage you to follow these color guidelines when creating and inserting content in your MagCloud PDF:
• Images you place into your document, whether from a digital camera or stock photography website, should be left in their original color space (sRGB, Adobe RGB, etc) with the corresponding color profiles embedded in the final PDF."
My images are RGB, but I'm worried that if there is no color profile embedded, they may not print well, which would be unfortunate for our journal, since it covers art.
Thanks,
Sarah Jones
