Default Re: printing with epson cx6000: colors not as vivid

Another thing to keep in mind is that colors on the screen are displayed in RGB. These color codes are accurate for screens only. Therefore they will not be the exact same for print.

In order to get the closest possible color match you might want to think about making your design using CMYK instead of RGB.

Before making your design, have a look at something called a Pantone book - this is a book which many graphic designers use. It shows you all the different colors on paper. Each color has a specific color code - these are the codes you need to use in your design.

Keep in mind that with CMYK the colors might look way off on screen but will look good on print.
