Soft proofing provides an on-screen preview of a document as it will appear when it is reproduced by a specific printer. Unlike the “hard-proofing” technique that is used in a traditional printing workflow, soft proofing lets you look at the final result without committing ink to paper. You can verify whether the color profile of the document is suitable for a specific printer and avoid unwanted results.
Soft proof documents to preview final results on-screen. (left) An sRGB color profile is assigned to an image. (right) Assigning the U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 profile allows an on-screen simulation of the printed output.
To simulate the output colors that are produced by a device, you need to choose the color profile of the device. Because the color spaces of the document and device are different, some document colors may not have matches in the gamut of the device color space. These out-of-gamut colors can dramatically change the look of the image, depending on how they are interpreted by the color management system. You can choose a rendering intent to instruct the color management system how to interpret the out-of-gamut colors.
'Web Coated SWOP 2006 Grade 3 Paper' - TAC 310%. 'Web Coated SWOP 2006 Grade 5 Paper' - TAC 300%. Choose one of these three ICC profiles if you know the type of press and paper type. If not, then it is safer to go with 'Web Coated SWOP 2006 Grade 5 Paper' as it has a TAC of 300%. As mentioned above it is better to have too little ink than too much.

Many colors in an sRGB document may be out of gamut for the U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 color space. The out-of-gamut colors are mapped into gamut according to the rendering intent.

The rendering intent that you choose depends on the graphical content of the image.
- The Perceptual rendering intent is suitable for photographs and bitmaps that contain many out-of-gamut colors. The overall color appearance is preserved by changing all colors, including the in-gamut colors, to fit within the range of colors at the destination. This rendering intent maintains the relationships between colors to produce the best results. In general, the Perceptual rendering intent is best for giclée prints.
- The Saturation rendering intent produces more concentrated solid colors in business graphics, such as charts and graphs. Colors may be less accurate than those produced by other rendering intents.
- The Relative colorimetric rendering intent is suitable for logos or other graphics that contain only a few out-of-gamut colors. It matches the out-of-gamut source colors with the closest in-gamut colors at the destination. This rendering intent causes the white point to shift. If you print on white paper, the whiteness of the paper is used to reproduce the white areas of the document. Therefore, this rendering intent is a good option if your document will be printed.
- The Absolute colorimetric rendering intent is suitable for logos, or other graphics, that require very precise colors. If no match is found for the source colors, then the closest possible match is used. The Absolute colorimetric and Relative colorimetric rendering intents are similar, but the Absolute colorimetric rendering intent preserves the white point through the conversion and does not adjust for the whiteness of the paper. This rendering intent is used mainly for proofing.
This is an example of three types of images and their corresponding rendering intents.
To soft-proof an image
1. Choose Canvas > Color Proofing Settings.
2. To simulate the output colors that are produced by a specific device, choose a profile from the Simulate Device list box.
The list includes all color profiles installed on your computer.
3. To instruct the color management system how to interpret the out-of-gamut colors, choose a rendering intent from the Rendering Intent list box.
4. Enable the Turn On Color Proofing Mode check box.
Note
- Simulating printer output may cause on-screen colors to appear dull because all colors are brought into a CMYK color space, which has a smaller gamut than an RGB color space. After soft proofing an image, you can turn off the soft proofing feature.
- The accuracy of the simulation depends on factors such as the quality of your monitor, the color profile of the monitor and the output device, and the ambient lighting in your work area.

Everyone makes mistakes but Service Printers is dedicated to informing our customers about the design and printing process so you will always have a great printed product. Avoid the following common pitfalls when designing your brochure, business card, flyer, or any other printed project.
No Bleed
Be sure you extend images 1/8' beyond the final trim edge. For more information on this see our Trimming Guidelines
Correct | Incorrect |
| The background image is extended to the Bleed Edge (blue line) | The background image is NOT extended to the Bleed Edge (blue line) |
Not in the Safe Zone
Text and other important elements like logos should be placed no closer to the Trim Edge than 1/8'. For more information on this see our Trimming Guidelines
Correct | Incorrect |
| The text is kept within the Safe Edge (orange line) | The text is NOT kept within the Safe Edge (orange line) |
Low Resolution
The resolution for anything that is to be printed should be at least 300dpi. Anything less than this could result in pixelated images and fuzzy text. Images captured from the web are highly discouraged.
Correct | Incorrect |
| The resolution is set at 300 pixels/inch | The resolution is set below 300 pixels/inch |
Borders
If you use borders they should be within the Safe Edge, or thick enough to extend all the way from the Safe Edge out to the Bleed Edge. This will ensure the border is not trimmed off.
Correct | Incorrect |
| The purple border has been placed within the Safe Edge (orange line) | The purple border has been thickened and extended from within the Safe Edge (orange line) to the Bleed Edge (blue line) |
Incorrect | |
| The purple border has been placed outside the Safe Edge (orange line) |
Designed in RGB
Designing in RGB is only appropriate for graphics that will only be displayed on screen, for example images designed for a website. When designing for print you should always convert your images to CMYK.
To create a new file in CMYK mode:
Adobe Photoshop
- Click File > New...
- Set the size of your image, then select 'CMYK Color' from the Color Mode drop-down menu. Make sure your resolution is set at least 300 pixels/inch.
Adobe Illustrator
- Click File > New...
- If Advanced Options are not visible, click the arrow next to 'Advanced' at the bottom of the window
- For Color Mode, select CMYK

Adobe InDesign
Adobe InDesign defaults to a CMYK color profile. There is no need to convert your InDesign document to CMYK or to set a color mode when creating the file. However, you should make sure the working CMYK profile is set to U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2. Do this by:
- Click Edit > Convert to Profile...
- Under 'Destination Space' select U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) V2 in the CMYK Profile drop-down menu
To CONVERT a file to CMYK after it's been designed in RGB:
Adobe Photoshop
- Click Edit > Convert to Profile...
- Under 'Destination Space' select 'U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2

Text not converted to outlines or rasterized
When text is created in Photoshop or Illustrator they should be flattened. In Illustrator this is called 'Create Outlines' and in Photoshop it is 'Rasterize Type.' Text is no longer editable, but errors related to missing fonts when sending files to your printer are eliminated. You can also create outlines from text in InDesign, however this is not necessary if you Package your file before sending it to the Printer.

- Select the text layer in the Layers Palette
- Click Layer > Rasterize > Type OR right-click on the text layer and select 'Rasterize Type'
- It is highly recommended you Save As... to a different file name after you create outlines as you will no longer be able to edit any of the text.
Adobe Illustrator
- Select the text box
- Click Layer > Create Outlines
- It is highly recommended you Save As... to a different file name after you create outlines as you will no longer be able to edit any of the text.
Adobe InDesign
It is not necessary to Create Outlines from text in InDesign if you Package the file (an InDesign tool that collects all fonts and linked images into one easy-to-send folder for your Printer).
