robertmac Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff TonyB Posted November 12, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 12, 2016 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. jgcloud 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
