Tina23 Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) Hello! I have a very urgent request and hope somebody can help me I used Affinity Publisher to create an invitation that is going to be printed. The problem is - when I convert in into PDF the color of the image turns out different than the color of a vector that I placed in the same color and a rectangle I also placed in the same color (pipette). I later tried it with the print shop's used ICC profile, but it's nothing better. While the image is the same color as the original (background is greyish blue), the rectangle and the vector are very brown. I have no idea what might be the problem...

Staff Lee D Posted February 20, 2020 Staff Posted February 20, 2020 Without seeing the document it's hard to say, however most issues relate to CMYK/RGB or incorrect colour profiles. If you can provide a link to your file and let me know what exporting settings are being used and what colour profile etc the document should have I can take a look. *If you don't wish to upload the file here, send me a PM with a download link.

Tina23 Posted February 20, 2020 Author Posted February 20, 2020 Hi! I deleted text and logos so it's fine, I'll upload it here. I exported it into PDF (for print) with standard settings with the colour profile Iso Coated v2 300% ECI Thank you! questionExport.pdf questionExport.afpub Quote
Joachim_L Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Your document setup says, that the Colour Profile U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 is used, 75.eps is using the same profile. The two JPEG are using Adobe RGB (1998) profile. Without seeing the complete file without the images, I would say it is a mismatch of the colour profiles.

Tina23 Posted February 20, 2020 Author Posted February 20, 2020 How can I change that? If I change the colour profile of the file to my print colour profile as well as 75.eps seperately, and put it back in the file, it has the old (standard) colour profile.. Quote
Tina23 Posted February 20, 2020 Author Posted February 20, 2020 I tried it and changed an image from RGB to CMYK and placed it, but it changed from black to blue anyways in the export... Quote
MikeW Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 I would do two things. I would remove the gray background from the image itself... I would double-click on the eps file, which will open in a new document window, copy it, close that window and delete the massive frame around the eps, and paste the copied version onto the document. Then one only needs to make sure the eps, the image frame and any other desired elements are colored with the same gray values. Quote
Tina23 Posted February 20, 2020 Author Posted February 20, 2020 Thank you for your responses! I did the coversion wrong befor. After I converted the eps properly to the colour profile the colour stayed the same in the export. Sry for the circumstances Quote
