Colour Printing

The colour space is the area size of the colour options there are to print from. Different colour spaces vary in size. It is important to know what the colour space is to what you are getting printed, because you want to know that your print is going to be the right colours. If your image has a different colour space to the paper you are getting it printed on this can affect the quality of the colour as it could darken the image by giving it a brown washed look. 

If the image does have a different colour space to the paper you can soft proof the image in photo shop to get an idea of what it will actually look like then convert its profile.


To render the colours you can either relitive render which will move all the layers in with the colour that is needed. This will keep a close likeness to the correct overall colour.
Or you can select Perceptual rendering but this will only move the colour tithe one layer that has been chosen and by not moving all the layers in one can change the contrast of the image.
