Question 1

What's the difference between RGB and CMYK?

Accepted Answer

RGB refers to the primary colors of light, Red, Green and Blue, that are used in monitors, television screens, digital cameras and scanners. CMYK refers to the primary colors of pigment: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. ... The combination of RGB light creates white, while the combination of CMYK inks creates black.
 
A good rule of thumb is anything dealing with the web should always be in RGB and printed material should be in CMYK. But very few designers and clients know why this is the standard. Back in the printing press days, to achieve color, each ink (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) had its own plate.

In this video, we explain what RGB and CMYK are, the differences between the two, and what affect they can have on printing.

Question 14

What is bleed, trim and safe area?"

Accepted Answer

Bleed
This is the portion of your design that will be trimmed off when the card is cut to the final size. Its purpose is to make sure your design or image reaches right to the very edge of the cards, leaving no unsightly white edges. 
 
If you're designing your own artwork, you'll need to make your artwork 'Full Bleed' size to account for this. You'll find a list of 'Full Bleed' recommended sizes here, or we have a range of templates available for every product.
 
Trim
 
This is the final size of your cards, after the 'bleed' has been cut off.
 
Safe area
 
This is an area inside the 'Trim'. Being smaller than your final card, the safe area is kept well away from blades and cutting machines, and so this is where you should place your most important information or sections of your design. Anything outside of this area runs a risk of being cut off!
