Heres an example of whats happening. The Color Blend/ Gradient is just very poor when it becomes rasterized. This is Intended for print. We used to print RGB and would get really good saturated prints from RGB but recently some prints have been quite poor in comparison so I switched to CMYK. I think some of the printer's settings are different/ changed and figured CMYK would be a safe bet for printing purposes, but if theyre going to still look bad like this idk what to do.
Why is the color gradient becoming so gray and washed out?
thanks for your help! cant believe I didnt know about that
Just remember if you want to improve your color quality you'll need to get a grasp of color management and the details. Feel free to post here or send me a PM.
Keep this in mind it's a deep and complicated rabbit hole, as you learn more your quality gets better and more easily repeatable but you learn what's wrong with a huge amount of the work out there, the knowledge cuts both ways.
Yeah I went into the rabbit hole a couple years a go. Its super complex. I obviously still have a shallow understanding and it's been enough to get by for a the time being.
To be honest as long as you turn proofing on when needed setting rendering intent to Perceptual is all you need do.
