MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted October 23, 2015 They should just make sure its a RGB black and not CMYK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaybyrd 3,770 Posted October 27, 2015 Prints darker than cmyk black from most programs. I can immediately tell the difference if I use the wrong black on transparencies. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted October 27, 2015 Why would that make a difference? Yup RGB black is a lot darker than the CMYK black. If you start with a CMYK color palette you can always go under the color char and click RGB and you will see that its more of a grey than a crisp black.

You would think that Black is Black, especially in a color printer that prints CMYK, you would think that CMYK Black would be a better Black... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KYSIGN 233 Posted November 3, 2015 A similar thing happens with CMYK white vs RGB white. If I use CMYK white the printer uses ink and prints a very light grey. If I use RGB white the printer doesn't waste ink and the extra white paper I use actually shows thru. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted November 4, 2015 50,50,50,100 is similar to RGB black. It's often called Rich Black in CMYK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
