Printing AI art: keep an RGB master, soft-proof with the printer's profile

tisch_eins · x · 2026-10-22

tischeins explains what changes when a generated image leaves the screen: profile, paper stock and print process all affect color. His hands-on workflow: keep an RGB master, ask the printer for the output profile, and soft-proof a copy for the job—'a beautiful generated image does not replace those steps.' Includes a CMYK quick guide (four inks, nine process recipes, pre-flight checks) and the full Midjourney prompt for a kingfisher built from translucent cyan/magenta/yellow paper shapes as a visual metaphor for process color.
