Colour printing 101

Have you ever stopped to think, how does colour printing work?

Whether it's from a desktop or professional printer, the basics are the same:

These are the four basic colours Cyan (blue), Magenta (a pink-purple), Yellow, and K (which stands for black). Thus, the term 'CMYK'.
These four colours are mixed in percentages to produce hundreds, if not thousands of variations (the human eye can distinguish up to one million different colours).
A printer lays down micro 'dots' onto paper.

DPI stands for dots per inch - the higher the DPI (also known as resolution), the better the final product.
If you're wanting cheap colour printing at home, you will need to decide if you want to save money (toner and colour cartridges are expensive) and are happy to compromise on quality (you can go as low as 72dpi).
The paper you print on also affects the final product. Thinner paper (gsm) makes the ink 'bleed'. Thicker paper or card 'holds' the colour. Gloss paper provides another level of printing.

How to achieve the most vivid colours when printing

When you want to print colour, you should want it to be bright and eye-catching. No matter the design there are a few simple things you can do to ensure your colour project will come out as graphic as you would like.

Always work in CMYK not RGB
CMYK is what professional printers use to print. If you have created a design in RGB, when it goes to be printed, the colours will likely be off and not what you expect.
Know the correct specs
You may have found the perfect colour, but you should know that while most colours are doable with a CMYK ink set, not every single colour is. Clarify the printer colour profile or specifications before you send your work to be printed, and align your work with those.
Calibrate your display
Colours can alter depending on lighting conditions and even different monitor screens. To accurately represent the colours in your design, make sure that your monitor or screen is properly calibrated. This will help confirm that the colours you see on the screen will look the same when printed.
Choose high-quality paper or the right paper
How well the ink is absorbed affects how brilliant the final colour results. Depending on your project or the type of product you are wanting to produce, you may need to consider different paper stocks and finishes. Paper stocks specifically designed for colour printing will give the best results.

Consult a CMYK swatch book or chart for accuracy
To see how CMYK colours will look on different paper stocks, a CMYK swatch book or chart could be a handy investment for colour identification and checking. The swatches should have examples of every colour on different types of paper stocks and finishes.
Work with high quality images
If an image in your design is of poor resolution, it is highly likely you won’t get very sharp lines and intense colour.
Print a proof
Before you print a large batch, see if you can have one proof page printed to check the colour quality before you commence the full print run.
