Hi all,

Actually, I would like to know the answer to this question as well.
I've been printing my magazine at a digital workshop for some time
now, and in the last few issues experienced problems.  Eventually
it turned out that it was all caused by me exporting PDFs for
"Printer", not "Greyscale".  PDFs exported for "Printer" are
actually RGB, not greyscale - even though the entire document
doesn't contain a single element in color.  So a description of
what these two options do would be welcome  :-)

Best,
Michal
