appearance of logo in print v. print (press-ready)


Recommended Posts

I'm new to Affinity and still have a lot to learn. 

 

I've downloaded a logo which looks correct when the type of document I use it in is Web or Print. But when I try to use it in Print (press-ready), it looks different. The solid black text becomes dark grey, and the colors of the actual logo are less bright. The whole thing appears more "faded" than the original.

 

Is there a way to convert it? I ultimately want to print brochures from this design, so should I use press-ready or not?

 

Thanks in advance for the advice.

When a design is output for press then the colours must be converted to CMYK. CMYK colours are often less saturated but are closer to what they will look like on a print press. The topic of CMYK press printing is a complex one but the internet has many good resources that explain it.
