Colors of Image and Vectors are exported different in PDF


Recommended Posts

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...

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.

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.

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.
