[pdftex] Embedding and CMYK

[h+i]

Hello Reinhard,

I produced a sample page for myself  with all 3 entries (rgb, cmyk, gray)
which produced exactly what I mailed. My program evidently - if in cmyk
mode - produces black as a mixed color, but many other programs do too.


What you mailed (0 0 0 1 setcmykcolor) is  clean black, as black is only
derived from the k-part. This is equivalent to "0 setgray". I´m sorry that
I did not make that clear.

But  if you mix c +m+y (each with 100%) you get black too. This was the
problem which started the question anyway: how to get away from mixed
black.
