What are the best values of black in CMYK?
When you print with Digital Presses -that's what we do- using 100% black is perfect for text but not for large, solid areas. So, to achieve a nice rich black, we recommend using the formula of 20% cyan, 20% magenta, 20% yellow and 100% black which will give you a great result!
Why do I need to supply CMYK artwork?
The RGB colour spectrum is much larger and different to CMYK, so if you supply your artwork as RGB, what you receive when printed will differ to what you supplied. Bright colours will appear duller muted effect, and more often that's not what you'll want for your print!
Before you save your PDF file make sure you've converted it to CMYK so you'll then have a truer indication of what it will look like when printed. You can use Photoshop or to readjust colour if required.
What’s the difference between CMYK or RGB images?
RGB is the colour gamut used to display images on computer screen, and stands for Red, Green and Blue. CMYK is the colours gamut used for conventional printing, and stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black.
Printing has so many more elements in colour building - be sure to remember we print in CMYK!
