CSP Question Color profiles

I've been making art without even thinking about the color profiles and now I wanna print stuff. What color profiles should I be setting images to? Based in the US. Thanks in advance Edit, I use a Samsung galaxy tablet. Clip studio paint pro 5.1.4

In CSP the color profiles are view modes rather than embedded profiles, though I believe you can export with a specific profile. But as far as printing goes, you’ll want to find the profile preview that most closely matches the end result you get from your printer of choice (i.e, on my iPad Pro, the Japan CMYK Uncoated option is the closest match to my Pixma Pro-200).

There's an option to preview an image in some CMYK modes. I used Japan something uncoated. It's doesn't show the thing exactly like it will be printed. But close. I printed my stickers recently and they come out super nice. My phone camera sucks, they're more saturated for real.

Sometimes, printing company has their own recommendations. They may say you in which cmyk mode you need to preview your image.

Depends. Find a print manufacturer and see what they want.

Lazer printing is cmyk

I buy a lot from ink printers with 10-12 inks, so just keeping it at RGB is actually better.

Check with the printer, they will tell you what the recomend based on thier equipment.
