Frequently Asked Questions

Why do we need RGB to CMYK conversion?

RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is an additive color model used for digital screens. CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) is a subtractive color model used in printing. When printing a digital design, the colors must be converted to CMYK to ensure the printed ink coordinates match the screen visual closely.

Does printing in CMYK match screen RGB colors perfectly?

Not always. The color gamut (range of colors) of CMYK is narrower than RGB. Highly saturated neon screen colors (like electric blue) cannot be reproduced using standard CMYK inks and will print slightly duller. The converter calculates the mathematical equivalent.
