I am having a problem with output quality from 3DS 3. I am saving my images as .tif or .tga, at 2000 x 1500 resolution. The image viewed on screen after rendering looks great. But when I send the file out to a service bureau for output either on a Canon Laser copier 500 or a Phaser dye-sub printer the images always appear dark. Also sometimes the colors are a bit off. Does this problem have anything to to with the fact that 3DS files are RGB and the output devices are CMYK? If so what can be done to correct these issues? Is it a matter of importing the RGB image into a package like PhotoStyler and saving it as an CMYK image? Thanx R
