Uprinting - 5 color printing tips

There are several factors in determining how visually appealing a colored print can be. At UPrinting, we follow five easy tips when it comes to printing materials with color. That way, we can provide the best color printing service our customers deserve. Limit your use of color. UPrinting offers the same low price for full color printing, whether you flood the page with color or limit your use to a single stripe, but just because it's included, that doesn't mean you have to use it. Unless you're printing photographs, try creating your design first in black and white and then add color from there. In fact, the absence of color can actually enhance a design's effectiveness. Avoid swaths of bright hues and strongly saturated colors. Vast expanses of deeply saturated purples and vibrant reds can actually stress the eye, making it uncomfortable for the viewer. Colos can change color. Just because you choose a color on the color picker, that doesn't mean that's necessarily the color you're going to end up with. Printed size and especially surrounding colors can dramatically change the appearance of a color. This is caused by what we know as "simultaneous contrast." Take a look at this image for example. On both sides, the interior, rust-colored square is actually the same color as its counterpart. However, surrounding it by different colors makes it appear different. This is simultaneous contrast at work. Avoid colored text on a colored background. Your best bet for achieving the highest level of legibility is to avoid printing colored text on a colored background. Instead, always provide adequate contrast for your text and stick to black or white text until you're more comfortable working with color. Color on the screen is different from printed color. A monitor functions in a different color space than a printer. That's the reason why the colors you see on the screen can vary from those images you printed. To fix this, you can set up your monitor or apply a color management setting on your image that is ready for printing.
