No. We don’t require you to download or install our printer profiles. You can work in a standard colour space like sRGB or Adobe RGB (1998) and export your files with that profile embedded.
Behind the scenes, we convert your image to the correct output profile based on the printer and paper you’ve selected. Each device and material (lustre, metallic, canvas, fine art paper, etc.) has its own calibrated profile, and our system applies the correct one automatically.
Why this works for you:
-
You don’t need to manage printer-specific profiles
-
Our software ensures accurate conversion for each output type
-
Profiles are updated in-house whenever printers or papers change
-
A consistent embedded working profile is all you need to supply
Note: RA-4 printers (used for C-type prints like lustre and metallic) have a smaller colour gamut than Adobe RGB. Some highly saturated colours, particularly greens, cyans, and blues, may not reproduce exactly as seen on screen. If you’re working in Adobe RGB and want more control, consider soft proofing using our ICC profiles.
