Had a three hour chat with Adobe Illustrator Tech Support who tried everything I did with no difference, though he was very insistent it was better.Changing KDP print selection from matte to glossy does not affect the brown tinge/muddiness.But obviously other people have red covers. Even if I remove all black from the background it still looks muted both in the Overprint Preview and the KDP Previewer.

Changing the PDF settings when I create the Save Copy as PDF hasn't yet fixed it either.Perhaps I'm missing the right combination? Currently set to: I've tried changing the Color Settings without fixing the problem.Both look fine up until I upload to KDP Print when they turn muted and muddy. I've tried setting Color Mode to both RGB and CMYK before creating the PDF.a CMYK or RGB single PDF of the cover less than 40MB with flattened transparencies.What KDP requires to submit my cover to print: I'm working on a MacBookAir running Mojave 10.14.6.See the pic of proof copy below, which got even more brown in tone. Note-this previewer is a fairly accurate predictor of how the printed version will look. Then, when I upload to Amazon's KDP Print, the KDP previewer shows the colors getting noticeably muddy and dull. Notice it's getting a tinge of orange as soon as it's saved as a PDF (which is the format KDP requires). Here's what it looks like in Illustrator with the screenshot of the PDF of same file in Acrobat Reader. But I'm having trouble with my background colors shifting to an amber/muddy hue when file goes to KDP Printer. So obviously, I'm a newbie at Illustrator and really need some expert advice.īy hook and by crook, I got far enough to make my own book cover in Ai.
