Change the settings as below: |

See the Color Management Policies menu (in the middle) and confirm that Working RGB = sRGB is used. Better to check "Ask When Opening" checkbox so that you can see when the embedded profile does not match.

Replace Colors
First, change the color mode from CMYK to RGB. Then refill the RGB=255 white objects with RGB=254 if you need to print white. Select other colors like Blacks and Yellows,
it is better to refill with e.g. RGB=0 black and R=G=255 yellow (B=0 is the most vivid yellow, B=254 is the thinnest yellow) to make the print image clear and vivid.
A good way to select all the objects with the same appearance (color/line): Select the Magic Wand and click one of the target objects. Then all the objects with the same appearance (color/line) can be selected at one time. Then change the color to what you want.
Be sure to confirm the print data with GT-3 File Viewer by zooming and changing the background color to save your time and money.
