# Color Profiles

# **Color Profiles**

When uploading a design for printing on garments, it’s important to use the correct color profile.
We work exclusively with **RGB colors**. Files created in **CMYK** may look different once printed.
A color profile determines how colors are displayed on a screen and reproduced by a printer. **RGB** is used for digital applications and allows for bright and vibrant colors.
**CMYK**, on the other hand, is mainly used for traditional print processes and has a more limited color range, which can result in less vivid colors.


**Why RGB Is Important**
Our machines are fully optimized for RGB. If you upload a file in CMYK, it will automatically be converted to RGB.
During this conversion, colors may shift. For example:
* Bright colors may appear duller
* Colors may change tone or shade
As a result, the final print may differ from what you initially saw on your screen.


**How to Avoid Color Differences**
To ensure the best result:
* Always save your design in **RGB color mode**
* Check your color settings in your design software before exporting the file

By using the correct color profile, you ensure that your design is printed as accurately and vibrantly as possible.
