Most of the time I don't need accurate colors, but occasionally I'll get a job that I have to send to get printed, like a banner and that's where my issues come in. It seems like no matter what I do the colors of my designs get totally washed out in the saving process. If only I could print RGB....
This is How I designed it:
PNG
This is how it saves:
CMYK JPEG
I designed it in CMYK so idk why it limits the colors further after saving.
I use the U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 Color Profile
I do have issues of Corel just changing my color profiles at random, but I don't think that's the issue here.
And TIFF Files seem to give a similar if not worse result as JPEGS.
Please help!

Yes, most plotters allows to print directly from an RGB image using the RIP settings. It's just about RIP configuration and adjust settings.
btw your issue seems to be a problem with the color profile settings. Are you embedding the color profile on your files? (ie when export as JPG) Have you tied to export as PDF instead? (it should be better). What's your color profile settings? are you using Perceptual rendering?
IDK about RGB Printing, but the place we are sending it to only accepts CMYK Files.
I use the North America General Purpose Color Preset.
I have embedded the color profile in all files I saved.
I have have Exported PDFs, and they have the same issues.
Im unsure what Perceptual Rendering is. What is that and what does it do?
