Early and Late Binding Workflow August 27, 2006

Early binding is where each image and graphic component is converted from RGB to CMYK before the elements are placed into a design or layout. Where Late Binding Converts the colour space at the end of the design process.

Harradine explains that it is more beneficial to work in a late binding workflow because you have a superior master file. The master files large gamut means that you can make finer adjustments.  The master RGB file can then be outputted for print or web, he says that his clients are even beginning to realise the benefits of having a master file.

So, in learning that, from now on I will be working in a late binding workflow. To see if that helps my printing problems.
