    Do what horton noted...if you're hesitant, stick with CMYK profiles as lowest common denominator and then switch to RGB before sending the files to print (understanding that such a switch can lead to some color shifting). Otherwise, simply ask the printer which color space/profile they print from and set your equipment up to match.

    You can achieve some intense colors through something like an Indigo press, but the results are varied and only work with certain hues.

    In the end, and apologies if this sounds curt, if you're in a situation where the print rep is a "Send" button and not a print rep, remember to go in with a much wider acceptance of variance than you might prefer.
