Help Choosing Color Profile for Printing in Procreate

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

Hi guys! So I've been working in procreate again. I have a small book project and finally got to the coloring stage. I would just like to ask what color profile should I use? I've been using CMYK in photoshop but procreate is all new to me. Thanks

@Nyrryl-Cadiz hi! What works best for me is working in an sRGB profile (sRGB IEC61966-2.1). When the illustration is done and before sending it to my client, I take it into Photoshop and change the color profile to CMYK and do any final edits.

Procreate used to have a "CMYK" profile, but it wasn't true CMYK. In the newest update on my app, I don't see that option anymore. To change the color profile, tap on the wrench icon > canvas > canvas information > color profile.

Another tip that is helpful when working in sRGB on Procreate: pick colors that are in the CMYK range to avoid a massive color shift.

Hope this helps!
