WHAT IS COLOUR MATCHING?
Colour matching
Colour matching is creating the intended colour in the finished product from the represented colour in the supplied artwork.
Print uses CMYK colours (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) that allow you to adjust ink levels for each colour to produce the exact colours you want.
Digital artwork uses RGB, which creates colours by mixing only red, green and blue. It's one of the reasons why colours are so much more vibrant in print than on your screen and why your screen colours aren't an accurate representation of the colour that will be printed from your artwork.
If you've used a spot (or Pantone) colour, which is a specific colour that has a name, it needs to be matched to the CMYK "colour space". Sometimes your printer can create an exact match, at other times it will be close to the spot colour but may not be an exact match.
How close the match is depends on the skill of your printer.
For spot-on spot colours, always choose a print professional with many years of experience who knows how to colour match correctly.
Your local print expert is your best choice.
