[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 383503"] Colour profiles... The dreaded colour profiles! This is still something I am trying to really integrate in my knowledge. Maybe someone can jump in here and explain this better than I can. Anyway here I go!... I have Illustrator CS at school at the moment... Dunno which version you use but here I go with what I see. You go to the menubar in Illustrator and under [I]Edit[/I], you will find at the bottom settings for colours and for giving the work a profile. Look at both of these, you have things to tweak in there. You should consult with the printer to make sure you both use the same profiles... Like one of the defaults here is US Web (coated or uncoated) but this is really a generalization and it doesn't go with every job you'll need to print. My suggestion is to talk with the printers and ask them what they prefer. Like I said earlier, if the print is digital, it will need an RGB profile (usually Adobe RGB 1998), if it is in CMYK, then I'm not really sure what is in use in Europe so you'll need to get info from the printers.
