Your customer doesn't know how to handle graphics...
RGB is Red/Green/Blue and is only used on computer monitors-never used in
printing or graphics!
CMYK is Cyan/Magenta/Yellow/Black and is the basis for all color print
imaging.Unless their computer MONITOR is 'color matched'...then your
interpretation of thread color could be way off!
I run into this all the time-my monitors are RGB, and because 80% of what I do
is cutting vinyl-where you have only the colors on the roll-no custom colors-it
doesn't matter-they have to take what I have for colors. But when I layout
artwork in RGB and send it out for printing (business cards, etc.) the colors
rarely match what I 'see' on my monitor. Giving the print shop the RGB codes
doesn't mean the printed job will look the same as I see on my monitor!
Before you do a sewout, have the customer come in and see for themselves what
thread color you are going to use.
Just having incandescent light instead of florescent will affect how the colors
look...don't do the job and THEN ask them if the color is right!
