|
|
I've been wondering about this for a while.
I have a laser printer which ofcourse prints just one color.
But should I allow my SOFTWARE to convert colors to grayscale or should my printer take care of converting the colors?
Is there a difference? |

Depends on what you're trying to accomplish. If you are photoshopping, image quality is of importance and your printer is properly configurated (=WYSIWYG), I'd definitely go for software. It allows you easily modify RGB balance which greatly affects final image look and quality. Otherwise it usually doesn't really matter. |
