Kokii,

what you mean " wide gamut cmyk "printer"?




ID's print dialog lets you assign a profile to the printer that you are printing to. Instead of a real profile, I assigned a wide gamut cmyk profile from curvemeister.com for my test.

The wide gamut output profile allowed me to figure out, from a pdf distilled from the postscript output, which conversion path was taken when I printed to my cmyk printer. (I had selected print-to-file at the printer driver.)

With ID's cmyk working space set to a small-gamut cmyk profile for uncoated paper, the RGB image that I had used retained most of its vividness, which means that it did not go through a conversion to the small-gamut cmyk profile as an intermediate step. Had it done so, the image would have lost much of its punch due to the very light blackpoint for uncoated paper, and from severe gamut clipping.
