You send us the ICC profile for \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eyour\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e printer. We read it, map the exact range of color your machine can reproduce, and build a 600-swatch chart with hex codes for that specific printer, ink, film and resolution combination. Nothing generic about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivered automatically, in minutes.\u003c\/strong\u003e Upload, check out, and your files arrive by email while you're still at your desk.

If it is printed on this chart, your machine can actually reproduce it — no guessing, no colors that look great on screen and collapse on film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYour printer prints far more colors than 600.\u003c\/strong\u003e The chart is a map of your gamut, not a limit on it. Your printer can produce hundreds of thousands of colors, and the vast majority of them are not on this sheet. Anything you design that falls inside the gamut will print, whether or not it appears here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColors outside the gamut still print — they just shift.\u003c\/strong\u003e When a design calls for a color your printer cannot physically make, the RIP substitutes the nearest color it can. That is what causes a vivid on-screen green to come off the press looking muted. The value of this chart is that it shows you where that boundary sits for your machine, so you can design inside it on purpose instead of discovering the limit after the film is printed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrint-ready PDF\u003c\/strong\u003e — 13×19 in, true vector, tagged Adobe RGB (1998), with the hex code printed on every swatch.
