Question

How do I convert RGB or hex color codes to CMYK for my print order?

Answer

Convert every color to CMYK before submitting your print files. Hex codes and RGB values are built for screens and are not suitable for printing on their own.

  • Open your file in design software such as Illustrator, Photoshop, or InDesign.
  • Set the document color mode to CMYK.
  • Convert RGB and hex colors to their CMYK equivalents, then check that bright colors still look right.

Doing the conversion yourself lets you correct any color shift before the file goes to press, rather than leaving it to an automatic conversion.
