Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why convert RGB to CMYK for printing? Printers use CMYK ink combinations, while screens emit RGB light. Conversion prevents color shifts like muted blues and oversaturated reds.
How accurate is the browser preview? Preview uses color-managed rendering identical to exported files, with gamut warnings showing out-of-print-range colors.
When should I use custom ICC profiles? Upload printer-specific profiles when producing premium materials like art books or branded packaging for press-accurate color.
