The problem

A render that looks great on screen comes back from the printer dull and muddy. Blender has no CMYK and no gamut warning, so you only find out after paying for the print.

The fix

Print Proof checks a render (or any PNG/JPG/TIFF/EXR) in one click and saves a colour-coded risk map plus a text report next to your file.

Features

• Magenta: colours outside the print gamut
• Blue: shadows that will block up into solid black
• Yellow: clipped white that prints as bare paper
• DPI at your print width, plus the largest size at 300 DPI
• Paper presets: coated, uncoated, newsprint, photo inkjet
• In Properties › Output › Print Proof

Who it's for

Blender artists who sell or order prints of their renders.
