Coloru vs RGB what can happen?

Shown below is an example of an image formatted in sRGB (Left hand side) which has come out as vibrant and correctly formatted. The same image is then converted to CMYK (Right hand side). You will see that the image on the right has lost some of its colour when it was converted to CMYK because the colour spectrum cannot match to the same spectrum that RGB can.

As we will always say, after the conversion has been made to a CMYK format, tweak the colours to suit your needs and this will give you a more accurate printed result.

IF you were to leave your images in RBG and then print them, the printer will automatically convert them to CMYK during the process. The conversion from RGB to CMYK may slightly alter the balance of the image colour due to the difference in colour formats, resulting in a less vibrant image than you were expecting.

In some cases, where you may have 'watercolour' or 'artwork' images, this may give you a more vibrant image than you expect - in cases like this we recommend you convert your images to CMYK - as this will then provide a less punchy/vibrant image as there is no Colour conversion from RGB over to CMYK.

Due to the nature of different printing processes, it is very hard to provide an exact Colour match to something you may have had printed elsewhere or at home on your desktop printer, as all print outputs will vary, as well as the paper used for printing and the type of inks used.
