Help needed with understanding color printing profiles

Hi, I'm creating digital artwork and would like to print it, but I have no experience with color modules (like Fogra, how to export it in the right way.) Is there any way to learn how to do this? For example, to understand that a certain color will look off in print?


Any help is appreciatedd

Do you understand color management?

If not, you need to start with that. 

Then calibrate your system.

If you are collaborating with a printing service, then discuss the profiles used with them. Get test prints ,etc

Hi Monica,

Thank you flr your reply.

I will definitely learn the color management. I do work with a copyshop but they jist print without the specific profiles. Last time I asked they said that their profile is Fogra52, but I don't know what to do with this info

If they cannot really name you color profiles or know about their workflow, then I would request test prints from them.

 

You could set up the profile in your color management - the question is whether that has any effect.

 

Exactly what are you printing? On what kind of printer?
