    Colleen, I don’t think you understand my reasoning behind trying to keep everything RGB. I’m trying to avoid/minimize the DRASTICALLY different color shift that you are talking about. I know the printer I’m sending to has modern digital printers, so they can handle RGB files a lot better and (hopefully) the output will be brighter. It was that darn “Transparency Blend Space” that was tripping me up, and led me here.

    I sent my X-4 pdfs to my printer last night and explained that they were RGB and they said “no problem” We’ll see how different the finished piece looks… fingers crossed…

    OK, now I’m able to drop in my vectors with no problems, but as soon as I add a drop shadow to the vector, my background converts to CMYK again…

    Even when I change the color of the drop shadow from a CMYK black to an RGB black, my background stays dark and dull. Anyone know what I need to do to keep this conversion from happening?

    Thanks for the advice. I want to keep everything RGB because the background image is an RGB photo with bright, vibrant greens. When it gets converted to CMYK, it gets significantly darker.

    I know that it is no longer necessary to convert to CMYK. The file is for print, but the printer I’ll be sending this to is a modern, digital printer. I’m familiar with David Blatner’s advice on this topic from 5 years ago:

    I just opened my vectors in Illustrator and re-saved them as black and white with no color profiles, and that seems to have worked for my issue… I was just wondering if there was a simpler way to stop that conversion, like a checkbox in a menu or something that I just wasn’t finding
