Printed Colors Don't Match Colors in ID Maker

If you're having trouble matching colors from ID Maker to your actual printed cards, it's possible you are running in to a problem with RGB vs CMYK colors. RGB is how computers represent color on a display, whereas CMYK is how printers create colors. The issue is that there is not a one-to-one correlation between these two color systems. In fact, CMYK is only able to represent about 70% of the colors that RGB is able to.

This problem is especially noticeable with certain blues, greens (especially yellow-green), and also bright reds and bright oranges - these colors are simply not represented in CMYK color, so there is no way to print these colors.
