I assume that the profile would have to be assigned to the combination of the machine, the inks used and the paper stock (e.g. if one uses different paper, that would possibly affect the gamut or other aspects of the printing if the controller/printer wasn't aware that a different paper was...

The problem is that I'm primarily a web developer/programmer with a passable aesthetic sense, not a printing/design professional- I've no idea about "proper" proofs. I had emailed him some RGB jpegs which should have approximated the final result closely enough for his expectations. (We *were*...

That was a very informative post, thank you very much. I've ended up asking rather a lot of questions below(!), so please don't feel obliged to answer them all (or any of them) I appreciate that principle in general, but trust me when I say that (in this specific case) the problem wasn't the...

Hey, thanks for going to the trouble of printing it out. :thumb: Do you remember which colour profile showed up when you imported the PDF into whatever program you use for printing? It should have been "ISO Coated v2 300% (ECI)", but I'm not 100% sure that I got that right. (As you mentioned...

Thanks for the feedback. Which program were you using?- I had no problems with Adobe Reader. What's the best way of proofing this sort of thing before printing? I appreciate that it's going to be very hard to proof colour matching perfectly. However, when the colour shift is bright blue...
