Is this agent exclusively focused on CMYK printing, or does it cover other color models too?

Accepted Answer

While the agent has deep expertise in CMYK for commercial printing, it also possesses extensive knowledge of color theory, including RGB vs. CMYK differences, color gamut, and ICC profiles. This allows it to help you bridge the gap effectively between RGB screen visuals and CMYK print output, and advise on general color accuracy regardless of the final print method.
