CMYK 300% colour profile

The ISO Coated v2 300% (ECI) profile is ideal for offset printing on coated paper because it limits the total ink coverage to 300%, preventing issues like ink smudging, paper warping, and longer drying times. It ensures consistent, high-quality results, especially for rich colours, and is widely accepted in the printing industry. This profile helps meet industry standards and avoids common problems caused by excessive ink, making it a reliable choice for high-quality print materials like magazines and brochures.
