Is CYMK accurate in Photoshop and weird in Google Chrome?

[xmizer2]

I'm planning on ordering some business cards online. They require CYMK files. When I uploaded it to their website and preview it, they look completely different in my Google Chrome than in my Photoshop.

In Photoshop, it looks like this. http://tinypic.com/r/2d8q895/6 (Correct Version)
In my Chrome, it looks like this. http://tinypic.com/r/ivzn9i/6

So, once it gets printed, which version is it supposed to look like? Does Chrome have difficulty rendering CYMK files accurately?

I suspect that chrome only sees in RGB...If you send it to a printer they want it in CYMK
So send them what format they need and it will use the 4 colors


And did you send them a PM....is it Vista print ?

I think you need to convert to CMYK in Photoshop and adjust the colors until the look right in PS.
PS, in RGB, is showing you colors CMYK can't begin to duplicate.

Try that and see if i's better.
I'll defer to anyone on this subject, it's not something I know much about.

Any biz card printer *requiring* CMYK files is shooting himself in the foot. The vast majority of people who need business cards produce the design using PowerPoint, Word art, and all sorts of other, business/consumer programs that couldn't put out a CMYK file if you paid it $1M.

Because of this, every biz card printer I've ever seen essentially *must* accept standard RGB JPGs, TIFs PNGs, etc. to keep their client base from disappearing. CMYK input is for an entirely different type of client. However, even for 4 color press operations, most don't want their clients to submit in CMYK anymore because there are so many different variants of CMYK (ie, for different combinations of press, papers, ink sets, etc.).

Even print shops that used to do this now are accepting RGB files because they can do a better job converting to CMYK than if they have their clients attempt to do this.

My recommendation: find another printer for your biz cards.
