PrintWide® Profile

A Wide-Gamut CMYK Profile for Maximum Flexibility

The PrintWide Profile is a groundbreaking CMYK dataset with an extremely large color gamut. Developed to accommodate virtually all inks and colorants used in modern print systems, it serves as a CMYK translation space and G7-aligned saturation booster.

Despite being a 4-channel (CMYK) profile, PrintWide replicates the effect of extended-gamut inks—such as OGV (Orange, Green, Violet) and RGB (Red, Green, Blue)—commonly found in inkjet, flexo, and offset printing.

Why Use PrintWide?

  • Captures the widest possible color range with just CMYK
  • Boosts saturation while maintaining G7 alignment
  • Works seamlessly across inkjet, flexo, and offset processes
  • Ideal for environments where expanded gamut inks are used
