      Hello,

      I want to know if there is a way to esport multiple PDF files with say, 240, 280 and 300% max ink from one InDesing document.

      And if I can, how do i do his?

      Thanks!

      You would need different ICC profiles (one for each different CMYK ink max) and you would need to use RGB images. When you export the PDF, you would choose the ICC profile that you are targeting, and all the images would be converted to CMYK with that ink max.

      Thank you for the reply. The printers should give me ICC profiles for there presses no?

      Also

      Just to know what is the best practice (in general, not only if i need different CMYK ink max):

      RGB image files and then when we make PDF, we target the CMYK PROFILE provided by the printer

      OR

      USE CMYK images that were already converted in Photoshop. and do no conversion when exporting to PDF from InDesign.
