What is xColor?

xColor is a simple-to-use color management tool. Users upload PDFs to xColor to accurately change or manage the color profile of any PDF file. xColor uses DeviceLink technology to make sure colors are translated from screen to print (RGB to CMYK) without losing any vibrancy of the original image.

What is Color Conversion?

Is the process in which you change a file's color profile to another in order to ensure consistent colors on all platforms. It allows you to monitor the color representations on screen and print.
