Artwork Colours: Achieving the Perfect Print
Ensuring that your sticker designs are printed with vibrant, accurate colours is key to bringing your vision to life. From gradients to CMYK conversions and Pantone matching, understanding how different colours translate from digital screens to print can help you create stunning custom stickers.
We print using CMYK, the standard for physical printing, which guarantees rich, true-to-design colours. Gradients print seamlessly, and while we strive to match Pantone colours as closely as possible, certain shades—like neon or specific greens—may not be an exact match due to limitations in the CMYK colour spectrum. For added flair, our neon pink and UV-reactive inks can give your designs an extra punch of brightness and interactivity.
Additionally, for transparent stickers, white ink can be used to create opacity and contrast, enhancing the visibility of your design. Understanding how RGB (for digital screens) differs from CMYK ensures that your printed stickers closely resemble your original artwork. Our support team is always available to help you prepare files and answer any colour-related questions, ensuring the best print results every time.
