why print?
- eating_tv0
I tend to pronounce CMYK as 'smack'
- mydo0
inkjet printers print RGB better than CMYK IMO anyway.
CMYK is for hipsters.

the only reason why jpgs were bad for print was the additional compression RIPs would do to them, obviously not the case with tiffs and all. but today there are hardly any RIPs that would compress jpgs, so. besides, indd is faster with the same amount of jpgs compared to tiffs (if you work with full-res files, and not with dummies to substitute later)

just a useful note in case you're interested. CMYK jpegs will work without problem on every browser except ie. handy to know if you have a client bitching about why he can't see images he's uploaded.

I can't believe this thread didn't die awhile ago. There is nothing THAT wrong with a high-resolution, minimum-compression .jpg, even in print. I utilize stock photography regularly, and the images are almost always .jpgs in various color modes. I use these images mostly in print, and I often deliver them, packaged, to the printer that way. The reason is that the printer (vendor) can and will prep the file for me and their presses much easier than I can.

I've been told to use jogs at my job for print (indesign docs) I haven't noticed a major flaw or issue yet I'm still trying to explain reasons for certain type of files. Is there a simple explanation as to what files are better, other than compression and why that I can use?
- airey0
one reason i've found useful is to supply colour corrected files via email or similar. the compression allows smaller files that other formats obviously and you don't have to worry about the douchnozzle at the other end converting them with paint. still, i agree the use of jpegs in print is odd but luckily have so many other problems at present i find it hard to give a flying monkeys tinkle.

- supply client with .eps (cmyk) .pdf (cmyk) and .jpeg (rgb)
- explain what each is for, even include notes on the logo page
- anything more is overkill and confusing for your client.

- why 2 CMYK files?doesnotexist
- Perfect, well put and supply RGB JPEG as a low res 72dpi version as wellali
- Agreed.Reaact

who uses rgb jpegs?
- jimbojones0
anyone who thinks the client won't give the tiny RGB JPG logo to everyone for print use... think again.
- couldn't have said it better myself...I am trying to figure out a way to prevent this!
AMOK - not your problem.inkpink
- I name the file blah bla_PRINT and bla bla_WEBEtype
- what's vector leave in vector, what's raster leave in raster, empty what's full. fill what's empty. scratch what itches.jimbojones

Alright...so let me pose this QUESTION to you all! When delivering a LOGO file, which FORMATS do you save and deliver to the client?
- pdf, ai, eps, svg, jpg, tiff, bmpidiots
- OK so RGB JPG or CMYK JPG? or Both?AMOK
- RGB jpeg, client will be using it for emails and shitinkpink
- DOES THE CLIENT NEED IT FOR WEB??????? OR PRINT??????jimbojones
- AGREED!
AMOK - ... and dressing up their Word docs which won't be going to press.inkpink
- lets say Both Jimbo jonesAMOK
- + that list of logo formats is over the top in my opinion; .eps .pdf and .jpg is what i sendinkpink
- if client has any need for a cmyk raster image they should know what to do with the .epsinkpink
- AMOK0
OK...so it is REALLY just to manage file size.
