How Should I Prepare My Files for CMYK Printing?

We use the CMYK color mode for all printing processes. CMYK, which stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (Black), is ideal for creating printed designs on physical items like stickers.

On the other hand, RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is used for digital screens and is capable of displaying more vibrant colors due to direct light emission. Understanding the distinction between these color modes is crucial to ensure that your printed stickers look exactly as you designed them.

For the best printing results, always convert your digital designs to CMYK before submission. This will help avoid any unexpected color shifts and ensure that your printed stickers match your original design as closely as possible. Here’s how you can do it:

In Photoshop: Navigate to “Image” then “Mode” and select “CMYK Color.”
In Illustrator: Go to “File” then “Document Color Mode” and choose “CMYK Color.”
PNG files are always in RGB mode, so save your file as a PDF to maintain CMYK settings.
