Most design packages will be set to RGB as the default colour as it often has the widest range of colours to use. You can, however, change your colours to CMYK format during the design process. It is possible to do this by using software such as Adobe Photoshop Illustrator. You will need to convert these images to CMYK using something like Adobe Photoshop before saving and adding to your final artwork.
This ensures that any images placed in your file will be set to print as CMYK. Be sure to check out our guide on creating production ready artwork for more information on the importance of saving your artwork in CMYK format for print. The reason for this change is because today's digital printing technology, while still using CMYK-based inks and toners, can often reproduce a lot of the brighter and more intense colors of the RGB color space than can printing on traditional CMYK presses.
If you are working on a project that will eventually be printed by a commercial printer on a web, offset, or litho press, your files will eventually have to be converted to a CMYK color space more on that later. You can also work in both color spaces at the same time if you like see below for more details.
RGB is an additive color space and is light-based. Think of theater lights. CMYK is subtractive and is pigment-based. This is how paint works. It is always best to work or design keeping in mind the final intent of a project.
Since most designers today design for print and digital applications at the same time, keeping files in RGB gives you more flexibility as well. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. December 12, no comments. Posted In: Thought Leadership.
