    Hi,

    I need help with InDesign. This is the question I need an answer on.

    I got a newsletter (pdf) that is supposed to mainly be viewed on computer screens. But some people may want to print the newsletter out on their own printers.

    So my question is. Can I use RGB or must I use CMYK for this?

    THANKS for answers! :)

    I would keep it in RGB since ppl is just going to print it in conventional printers that they would not have any issue matching the colors. Just be sure to keep the dpi (dots per inch) at least in 200dpi to ensure no pixelation and getting crisp pictures.

    you just need cmyk when you are goin to send it to professional output and there is not need to see in monitors cuz, and also if you bring a cmky version they will have problems to render it on browsers for example (showing missing image) or if shows on another visor will show overly mismatched colors.
