Thanks for the advice. I want to keep everything RGB because the background image is an RGB photo with bright, vibrant greens. When it gets converted to CMYK, it gets significantly darker.

I know that it is no longer necessary to convert to CMYK. The file is for print, but the printer I’ll be sending this to is a modern, digital printer. I’m familiar with David Blatner’s advice on this topic from 5 years ago:

I just opened my vectors in Illustrator and re-saved them as black and white with no color profiles, and that seems to have worked for my issue… I was just wondering if there was a simpler way to stop that conversion, like a checkbox in a menu or something that I just wasn’t finding
