So many people will submit files to us that are RGB and would like us to print them. When they receive the final, printed product, they are often shocked to see that the colors don’t line up with their computer screen. Here is why. All of our computer displays along with TV displays are in RGB or Red, Green and Blue. Those three colors make up the millions of colors we see everyday from the computer screen. However, when things go to print they are printed in CMYK or Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. Those 4 colors are all that are needed when a product gets printed. That is why it is called 4-color-offset printing.
Now, if a design happens to be in RGB and gets printed in CMYK it doesn’t look right. The colors will often look dull and the shadows and highlights will not be as bold. When you transfer data from an RGB color profile to a CMYK color profile use lose some of the color and gain other areas of color. So, if you design from CMYK in the first place, you get the exact colors you want. Even better, when you print with Cary Printing, you are practically guaranteed a perfect color match because we are certified by Gracol7 giving us a Master Printer Status. Basically, that means that we have met a level of excellence in the color and print quality of all of our products. Feel free to order samples from us today to see for yourself the beauty of “green” printing.
