Client sent RGB logo to use in an all-black job. What's the best way to get that logo to print 100% black? I keep ending up with 81% gray, which ain't gonna work. Background needs to stay white.
I tried converting to grayscale in PS and then fiddling with curves to get 100% black, but when I did that, the edges of the shapes got more jagged than I would like.
Then I made it a monotone, changed it to black, and fiddled with the settings until I got 100% black. Again, edges are more jagged than I would like. Also tried dropping the monotone into ID and aliasing the color to black, but that resulted in gray.
Is there another method that will give me 100% black but result in less jagged edges?
TIA,
Marlene
