Will blue and purple colors print as intended?

Blues and purples can create a sense of calm and creativity on printed products like pull out boxes, food packaging sleeves, and clothing price tags. However, CMYK printing can have issues with dark blue and navy colors. Sometimes these shades will shift to appear purple on a final printed product.

We rarely see issues with these colors with our presses, but it is a possibility, depending on which of our presses is used to produce your product. All of our machines are calibrated before each job to reduce the chances of issues like this occurring. If any color values seem like they will be a problem, our prepress team will contact you about the issue so that it gets solved before full production happens.

If accurate colors are a big concern, we recommend requesting a hard proof, so you can see how the color will turn out on your chosen paper.
