How to Ensure Imported SVGs and Images Use CMYK in Illustrator

Hi,

I am working on a business card design in Illustrator. My color setting is set to CMYK. When I import SVGs and images, are they also automatically set to CMYK or do I need to adjust them manually? If so, how can I do that?

Thank you very much!

If you place them in a CMYK document they are converted to CMYK.

You may want to check the blacks if they are 100% black or a mixture of CMYK.

It happens automatically, objects in an Illustrator file are converted to the document color space , CMYK or RGB
