WORKING SPACES
Documents should be created within an open color working space, so that the colors assigned may be mapped into their final output color space at A&E Products. Files that are not created in a working space will be assigned a working space when submitted to A&E. RGB files will be assigned Adobe RGB (1998), and CMYK files are assigned U.S. Sheetfed Coated. These working spaces have gamuts large enough to contain most printer spaces here at A&E Products. Check your software's user manual to learn how to assign a working space to your document.

APPLYING OR EMBEDDING PROFILES
A&E Products provides current output profiles so that you may soft-proof your files on a profiled monitor or a profiled printer before sending to A&E. Output profile spaces should be used for proofing only, NOT as a working space. Using output profiles as a working space is not recommended, as it limits the range of color to a specific device, and may limit the output on devices with a larger color gamut. Download our output profiles here.
