📝 Introduction

Ever printed a flyer or sticker, only to find that the colors look dull or totally different from your screen?
This is one of the most common concerns faced by customers at Siang Heng Printing Services, and the answer lies in a little-known concept: RGB vs CMYK.

🔍 Why Color Shifts Happen

Most devices display colors in RGB (Red, Green, Blue), a format designed for screens that emit light—making colors appear bright and vivid.
Printers, on the other hand, use CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black), which relies on ink pigments rather than light.

Here’s what typically causes unexpected print results:

  • Brightness boost on screens hides the true tone
  • Files in RGB mode may auto-convert unpredictably when printed
  • Non-calibrated monitors make colors appear different than how they’ll print
