Description

A print test guide book to save you from Post Print colour mix-match headaches! We create many books and have found that different printers tend to have slightly different outputs when it comes to colour. Besides the printer types, brands etc., one of the major reasons is that print materials use CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) colour model vs digital screens that use the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) model. In other words, colours you see on the screen are in the RGB spectrum. They are brighter in colour because white light is introduced compared to printing where there is no light hence, colour model CMYK is used. This limits the number of colours possible, therefore they do not look the same and are duller when printed. The main purpose of this book is to visually see how CMYK colours that you pick in your artwork will come out in print and to save you post print headaches. It is also a colour reference guide with CMYK and RGB colour codes, charts, CMYK grids and colour swatches and palettes.
