I don’t think it’s a colorspace problem perse – as within normal ranges, going back and forth between RGB and CMYK isn’t so bad. The ultramarine blue in the blacks, might be something very different: a good print black is not 100% black and 0% C,M,Y each: this would result in a dark grey. So

It's not possible, unless you have the exact profile for the printer it was finalized for. And it's weird that black is ultramarine blue in your files. Just have them give you RGB's, or give them a ton of mattes so they can color correct the shit out of it again. That's what normally happens

CMYK generally is not very well suited for 3d because rendering itself is RGB. When you convert textures in PS from CMYK to RGB I would use 'relative colormetric' (color settings->conversion options). sven From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com
