The colours once pressed are not the same as the screen?

Modified on Wed, 15 May at 11:23 AM

Colours on screen will not be replicated once printed/pressed due to the Monitor being and RGB device and the printer being a CMYK device meaning some colour conversion must take place.


All sublimation ink requires colour correction for most accurate colour reporduction. Please refer to your manufacturer documentation or contact Xpres technical support for further information.


The most accurate way to replicate colour is by printing a colour swatch chart. It is recommended to use the exact setup as when printing your consumable product i.e. same inks, same settings, same paper etc. 

A printed swatch chart can then be applied to your substrate, giving you a swatch of colours with references to choose from.
You can now select the colour you require and input the colour reference on your artwork. 


We have two colour charts available for you to use free of charge.
