Color Matching
If you would like to have the best possible color match, you have two options:
Be advised that digital printing has it's limits, particularly in color and consistency. That is the price not paid for such a great per page cost.
Many professionals use Viovio, and are thrilled with the quality and productivity we offer. Those who fret over every pixel tend to be the least satisfied. We strongly suggest you print up a sample, perhaps a personal portfolio with a sample of all types of your work, to see how the printing turns out.
- If you have predominantly photo oriented work, our strongest recomendation is just go with RGB. The system is tuned to sRGB, so that is ideal, however Adobe 1998 also works fine. Using other RGB color spaces such as ProPhoto RGB are highly discouraged, and likely to yield muted or color shifted results.
- If you have a lot of page layout work already in CMYK, then you can use that colorspace. The easiest ICC profile to use is the Japan 2001 Web Coated as that has a slight yellow cast. The iGen applies magenta as the last color, so there is always a leaning towards magenta.

color space adobe 1998 RGB vs sRGB
Re: color space adobe 1998 RGB vs sRGB
When working with photo books, the differences between the two colorspaces is generally outside of the printable spectrum of the printer itself. We have everything calibrated towards sRGB, however, Adobe 1998 will print just fine since the printable region of the colorspaces are quite similar overall.
The only printing situation you might run into the differences is when using high-end inkjet printing, such as what we use for our Archival Prints.
