Reply To: Ink Converage Indesign

Did you know that a coverage of 260% is good enough? At http://www.vigc.org you can check it out. We are using their settings for some time now, and nobody has seen any difference. What you do see is that your ink consumption drops, spending less money on ink.
You can set up a live profile to check which images have an in coverage above 300 (or if you wish 260), you can do it with the “separation preview” panel in Indesign and as David said, select a different profile to export to pdf, and do not forget “Convert to Destination (Preserve Numbers)”, that way your colors won’t shift.
