Choosing the right colours

Colour theory plays an integral role in design, from knowing which colours work together to understanding the meaning behind each colour.

CMYK vs RGB

CMYK consists of cyan, magenta, yellow and black, whilst the RGB model uses red, green and blue. CMYK is a subtractive colour mode, where combinations of the inks work to create different hues. RGB is most commonly used on a computer screen, where red, blue and green light is used to create colours to display.

Printers use the CMYK model, meaning the colours that can be replicated are limited to this colour palette. Therefore, it is essential that designs intended to be printed use the CMYK setting for optimal results.

Aligning PPI to DPI

The higher the pixels per inch (PPI), the higher the resolution and quality of image on a screen. Printers work with dots per inch (DPI), such as 300 dots per inch. Ensuring that the PPI is aligned with the DPI of the image will make sure the final result is a clear and crisp print.

Trim and Bleed Areas

Our designers are aware that the cut line is not always printed 100% accurately, which is why leaving a trim area for any minor discrepancies is important. This ensures that no important information or content is accidently trimmed. The bleed area acts much like the trim area. It allows for an insurance area to prevent any white space from appearing.

Combining the design and print process guarantees a seamless experience and takes away any stress. With a creative brief and information about your business or client, our team can help you to go from initial sketches to final prints, all under one roof.
