[Qgis-user] What colour settings can I control when I export to PDF?

[Johanna Botman]

Hi,

I've produced a map that now needs to be commercially printed. I sent them
a PDF exported from QGIS 2.14.1.

The proof the printer has supplied has the black (for street names) REALLY
dark and bold. They tell me that it is because the export has converted my
RGB values to CMYK and that therefore they are combining four colours to
make black and it is then 'bold'.

Is there anything I can do about this when I choose my colour, or when I
export my PDF? (Or do we sack the printer?)
