I have a color photo I have been using for years on various projects (small sample attached). Recently, I started having a few items printed professionally, and the results are rather poor. The blue background comes out looking gray, and the food colors are all dark and lifeless. On my end, the image looks great on my monitor and when printed on an inkjet printer.
Obviously, the problems are due to the conversion between the RGB image and the CMYK printing process.
I don't have any software that can convert to CMYK, and at least one of the printers wants a JPG source anyway.
On my last project, I sent a hard copy proof for them to color match, but the final result wasn't much better than the standard color matching.
So, I'm curious if there's anything I can do on my end that will improve the quality of the final image when printed?
