COLOR MAPS
Our Color Maps, Omnicolor Solids and OutdoorINK print systems are optimized for RGB printing with the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 Color Profile. Your artwork will be converted to that color space and profile for printing.
Please note, while you can upload artwork with other profiles, or in other color spaces, we cannot guarantee consistent, accurate results.
