Hello all,
I am designing a logo using a royal blue that looks great onscreen but is
out of the CMYK gamut. I am wondering if there is any way to reproduce the
colour faithfully when the logo is printed on a book using CMYK? I did
explain to the client that the blue could look different when printed, but
nonetheless I am wondering if there is a way to achieve it.

This is probably an awfully ignorant question - I don't know as much about
commercial printing as I should. But if I can do a faithful colour printout
on my home printer (from the RGB gamut), why can't a commercial printer
achieve the same thing somehow? I know the CMYK process is different... but
perhaps there is some way of incorporating a spot colour to achieve the
right blue? Or perhaps a commercial printer will be able to reproduce the
colour better using CMYK than my home printer can in CMYK mode?

Any help would be much appreciated!
Meri
