Thoughts on papercraft model file formats?

Hello, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the file formats used to distribute your papercraft projects.

The jpg, png, and gif formats are obvious choices, but my initial thought was to distribute my own project models in the resolution independent pdf format.

However, after a few tests I've come to the conclusion that pdf isn't so good when it comes to color profiles--my other goal was color consistency when other people try to print it out, since I devoted a lot of time to determine and use official colors.

I created my model in Adobe Illustrator CS, but it seems the program tries to convert the colors to a target device's profile, which can't really be known when the file is offered to anyone. Illustrator also doesn't seem to use ICC profiles for pdf. Because of this, the pdf comes in as untagged, or it's assigned a generic RGB profile when opened in another program.

If your goals are high resolution and color fidelity, what do you recommend? Am I better off to just output, for example, a high resolution png and zip up the various model files?

What are your thoughts? Thanks.
