From Screen to Print

The fundamental challenge of print color is gamut difference: the sRGB screen gamut is larger than the CMYK printing gamut. Some vivid digital colors — particularly saturated cyans, greens, and oranges — cannot be reproduced with standard CMYK inks. Professional workflows use Pantone spot colors for color-critical applications requiring exact cross-substrate matching.

Applying The Practical Canyon on Standing in Print

Preparing RGB (60-6-224) for print:

  • Convert to CMYK using a profile matched to your print process
  • Check if the result is in gamut — adjust if oversaturated
  • Find the nearest Pantone equivalent for spot-color specifications
  • Request a physical D65 proof before final print approval
  • Test under multiple light sources for metamerism assessment
