Art printing service recommendations

We recommend that you supply RGB files as you will achieve a wider range of colours compared to CMYK print files.

RGB - 8BIT TIFF or 16BIT TIFF - with embedded profiles - AdobeRGB98

CMYK - 8BIT TIFF or 16BIT TIFF - with embedded profiles - PSO coated v3 (FOGRA51)

CMYK - 8BIT TIFF or PDF - with embedded profiles - PSO coated v3 (FOGRA51)

Choose 1 of the following rendering intents

Vector = Relative Colorimetric = Produces more accurate colours than perceptual: good for images that contain specific colours such as those used by organisations or brands.

Raster = Perceptual = Converts the colour to look natural to the human eye: good for photographic images.

Note that the above rendering intents are a guide, choose one that gives you the look that you like: neither is "correct" or better than the other.

Alternative colour spaces

We can print sRGB images or other colour spaces and file types: pdf, jpeg, etc.

Soft proofing

Use the settings above and choose a media simulation profile that matches, or is similar to your intended physical print.

White ink can be used to print an entire image or in conjunction with other colours.

Sandwiched between two colour layers, white ink ensures good opacity and strong colours for double sided images printed on clear media.
