Why do prints still show color differences even when using CMYK color mode?
Even if your design file is created in CMYK color mode, slight color variations between what you see on screen and the final print are normal.
This happens because digital displays (RGB) and printers (CMYK) use two completely different color systems:
- RGB (Red, Green, Blue) — used for screens. It combines light to produce bright and vivid colors. Color appearance may still vary between different screens due to variations in brightness, calibration, and display technology.
- CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) — used for printing. It mixes inks that reflect light, so printed colors appear softer and less luminous, often resulting in a slightly darker appearance compared to what you see on screen.
Can embroidery and custom layers overlap on a product?
While we support combining embroidery and custom layers (DTG printed) in the same area, we recommend avoiding overlapping these elements. Overlapping embroidery and custom layers may cause the design preview in your store’s Customizer to display inaccurately, which can confuse customers about the final appearance. For the best visual clarity and to ensure customer expectations are met, please try to place embroidery and custom layers in separate, non-overlapping areas whenever possible.
