The colour profile, for the conversion of RGB to CMYK - used in Photoshop - determines the colour of the printed ads!
Medibel+ - i.e. every publisher in Belgium - asks to use the following colour profiles:
- ISOnewspaper26v4 for ads in newspapers
Since the use of the correct colour profile is very important for the print quality, Medibel+ asks to include the used profile in the file name of
the ad:
- Filename_INP.pdf for ISOnewspaper26v4

Alternative
It is also possible to supply your advertisement already bearing the ISOcoated_v2_300_eci profile.
Since the use of the correct colour profile is very important for the print quality, Medibel+ asks to include the used profile in the file name of the ad:
- Filenaam_IC.pdf voor ISOcoated_v2_300_eci
Alternatief - Newspaper standard File name Image conversion profile Profile Filenaam_IC.pdf ISOcoated_v2_300_eci.icc Download Be careful when transmitting a colourfast proof!
If you wish to forward ads created with this alternative colour profile (ISOcoated_v2_300_eci), the contract proof still has to be made using the ISOnewspaper26v4 profile. This means that you have to take care of the file conversion from ISOcoated_v2_300_eci to ISOnewspaper26v4 using the appropriate conversion software (GMG Colorserver - Alwan CMYK Optimizer - Callas PDF Color2Convert).
Stub
There is also a possibility to check whether the created colour proof meets the ISOnewspaper26v4 proof demands by applying an Ugra/Fogra stub and to compare it afterwards to a test file.
