RAL colours in Adobe Pagemaker

The correct CMYK realization of colour specifications in a printer’s copy is oftentimes problematic. But it is no problem with RAL C1 DIGITAL 4.0 and PageMaker: In the printer properties the optimized version for the paper type, e.g. art print or uncoated paper, is assigned and the exposure is automatically corrected. This way you are assured of good colour from the beginning!
