RGB to CMYK,
ready for the printer.

Printers ask for CMYK, and a quick convert can turn bright colours dull. FlamingMeta converts with real press profiles and shows you what will change before you send the file.

How it works

  1. 1

    Pick the paper

    Coated or uncoated, Europe (FOGRA) or the US (SWOP, GRACoL).

  2. 2

    Check the proof

    See the colours that won't print highlighted, a soft proof and each ink plate.

  3. 3

    Download

    A CMYK TIFF or JPEG with the profile embedded and your photo details kept.

Also in Colour and print

  • Convert between sRGB, Display P3, Adobe RGB and greyscale.
  • Fix photos that look washed out on social media (wrong or missing colour profile).
  • Total ink and out-of-gamut figures, so you know before the printer tells you.

Questions

Which profile should I use?

Ask your printer. If they don't say: FOGRA39 for coated paper in Australia and Europe, SWOP or GRACoL in the US, FOGRA47 for uncoated paper.

Is it free?

Colour and print is part of FlamingMeta Pro.
