Print shops have their own print profiles. It is always best to use their print profiles as they know what works with their presses.

Hi @Natalija304966969ql8,

 

I would personally say the ICC profile of their offset press. It would be best if you used the ICC profile of the printing press for offset printing. The ICC profile of the printing press ensures that the colours in your RGB image are accurately converted to CMYK to match the press's specific colour capabilities and characteristics.

 

The best person to speak about this is your tutor or a printing shop on how they would go about this.

 

I hope I was able to help, but should you have further questions, please don't hesitate to reach out again.
