When you upload your own design, there are no limits on color choices. Your document should be created in CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black) mode, the colors used in the printing process so that the colors will match the final printed product. Note that JPEG files are almost always in RGB (Red, Green and Blue), the colors used by screen displays such as your monitor. If you create your document in RGB, the colors in your printed product may vary slightly. Many of the bright values produced by your monitor cannot be reproduced in print. If you use one of our design templates, you may customize the ink color by choosing the Advanced Editing option, clicking on the text in the image, and opening the Font Color menu option and choosing any CMYK combination. back to top Are there any fees associated with color printing? There is no charge for color printing your logo and other artwork on business cards. For complete design specifications, review the information on the product page. back to top Why do certain colors look different after they’re printed? The ink-jet and color laser printers used in many home offices and small businesses employ widely different methods of printing color documents, making it impossible to calibrate them well for high-end color printing. Other factors can also affect the colors you see in the final printed materials, compared with those produced on your own printer. Weather affects how the ink dries on the paper, which can slightly change the color. The brightness of the paper delivered from the mill can alter the color, as can the ink density, on-press fluctuations, and printing system idiosyncrasies. Through a rigid quality control process, we maintain very high standards for color correction and color consistency to minimize color variations, especially within a single product order.
