Reply To: Ink Converage Indesign

Once the images are in CMYK, you have already set the max ink for them. You could, in theory, force them into a smaller max ink using color management in InDesign, but it’s not fun. You have to “cross-render” the whole document to a different CMYK profile using “Convert to Destination” (but “Convert to Destination (Preserve Numbers)” when exporting a PDF.

It is far better to keep your images as RGB and then simply export to CMYK when you make the PDF. I will write that process up as a blog post for you soon.
