There may be some subtle differences. Digital devices (like scanners and cameras) create images using a color model called RGB, which combines Red, Green, and Blue light. This is the format that screens use to display images. However, printing presses use a different color model, CMYK, which stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. To print accurately, your RGB file must be converted to CMYK, which is easily done with image editing software like Photoshop or Corel PhotoPaint.
Tip: It's best to convert your images to CMYK yourself before submitting them to us. This gives you full control over how your colors will appear. If we receive RGB images, we'll apply a standard RGB-to-CMYK conversion, which may not exactly match your original colors. Preparing your file in CMYK ensures the best results, as we cannot guarantee perfect color accuracy with RGB or low-resolution images.
A Note on Color Gamut: Some colors available in RGB don't exist in CMYK; these are called "out-of-gamut" colors. When converting, the closest possible CMYK match is used, but it may not be identical. For the best outcome, we recommend setting all font and design colors using CMYK definitions rather than RGB.
