Print Color Mode
Critical: Always convert colors to CMYK mode before printing. RGB colors are for digital/screen use only and will not print accurately.
Converting Colors
- Adobe Software: Use "Convert to Profile" or "Edit → Convert to Profile" → Choose CMYK
- Canva: Download as PDF Print (automatically converts to CMYK)
- General Rule: Always work in CMYK color mode when designing for print
Pantone Color Matching
For Spot Color Printing: If using Pantone spot colors, specify the Pantone number to your printer. This ensures exact color matching across all print runs.
When to Use Pantone
- Large print runs where color consistency is critical
- Brand colors that must match exactly
- Specialty printing (foil, embossing, etc.)
- When budget allows for spot color printing
Color Proofing
Always Request: A printed color proof before final production, especially for large print runs. Monitor colors may differ from printed colors.
Proofing Checklist
- Verify CMYK values match specifications
- Check color accuracy against brand guidelines
- Ensure contrast is sufficient for readability
- Test on actual paper stock if possible
- Compare with previous print jobs for consistency
