Frequently Asked Questions
What is CMYK?
CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (Black). It's the color model used by printers and the printing industry.
Why convert to CMYK?
Digital screens use RGB, but printers use CMYK. Converting ensures your printed colors match what you see on screen as closely as possible.
Are CMYK and RGB colors identical?
Not always. Some bright RGB colors (like neon green) cannot be exactly reproduced in CMYK printing, so slight color shifts may occur.
