Colour formats

All colours on documents need to be set to CMYK. RGB is not an acceptable printing format.

What is CMYK?
CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black. Most full colour printed materials, from posters to magazines, are printed using the 4 colour CMYK method. This is because the CMYK method produces a fantastic variety of colour and contract using just a few base colours. The colours are represented by a percentage of use of each of the 4 base colours. So green can be C 100%, M 0%, Y 100%, K 0% and red can be C 0%, M 100%, Y 100%, K 0%. Using this technology for your cards means that you have the greatest number of colours available to you, and the quality will be outstanding.
