gdenby Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Hi, AndyMane, RGB to CMYK conversions rarely reproduce in print what one sees on screen. In general, computer displays show a wider gamut of color than what printers can reproduce with inks. See, for instance, https://www.color-management-guide.com/relative-colorimetric-and-perceptual-rendering-intent.html. Essentially, one tries to squeeze or stretch and RGB image into a CMYK space. Typically, the CMYK image is rather dull and/or distorted. The only reliable solution I've had is to print trials, and tweak the original file till I get something that corresponds to what I want to see.

MikeW Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 The file is rgb. The file uses the printer profile. If the printer wants rgb, set to sRGB. If it expects cmyk, set the document to cmyk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
