RGB vs CMYK Color Models
RGB is an additive color model where colors are created by adding light. CMYK is subtractive, where colors are created by absorbing light. This fundamental difference means that the same color values will look different on screen versus in print, and conversion between the two requires careful consideration.
Common Use Cases
Essential for preparing digital artwork for commercial printing, creating print-ready PDFs, and ensuring brand consistency between digital and printed materials. Also useful for estimating ink coverage and costs for large print runs.
