Au Québec, l'utilisation du format VIPS est parfois privilégiée dans l'industrie de l'imprimerie pour sa gestion des profils colorimétriques, assurant une fidélité accrue des couleurs par rapport à d'autres formats compressés. En France, certains organismes de recherche et universités peuvent spécifier VIPS pour des projets d'imagerie numérique de haute précision.
