How do RGB colours look after CMYK conversion?

The world is full of colours, and printed media is an excellent way to share them with your audience. In this article we will have a look at what happens when you go from screen to paper.

Keeping up appearances

So now we know that the image might be affected from the inevitable shift from RGB to CMYK when you prepare for print. There are different paths to go depending on what you think is important in the end; do you want to reach a specific nuance in a logo or photograph of a product, or do you wish to go for contrast or image perception? The good news is that if you use the correct printing profiles and do your homework you can reach an excellent result! We offer our clients access to our technical support for all questions regarding print on Holmen’s paper. Please contact us if you have any questions.
