Dye Sublimation Printing Tips
• ICC Profile - Use an ICC profile appropriate to your dye sublimation print environment. • Document color mode – If you are using RIP software, use the RGB color mode for your graphics files. Let the RIP convert from RGB to CMYK. The CMYK color space is much smaller than the RGB color space and the CMYK color space will vary by ink, printer and media type, so designing in the RGB color space will always yield a larger range of printed colors than the CMYK space. A good RIP will use as much of the color information as possible thereby attaining the best printed color fidelity. See the recommendations from The International Color Consortium (ICC) on Late Binding and Color Workflow. Non-vector images, such as photographs:
