Re: Color synch issue?

Bond:

Since you're using the image for print, working in CMYK mode would
require less "interpolating" when printing than from an RGB image.
Just another thought.

I'm curious what folks say about Gary's suggestion to use a format
other than png - I don't know how Word or print operations work
differently with various file types.
