Dreaming of turning your Procreate masterpieces into vibrant prints? It's easier than you think, but nailing the color settings is key! Procreate is fantastic for digital art, but its default settings aren't always print-friendly.
Here's the secret weapon: **switch your color profile to CMYK.** While Procreate primarily uses RGB (for screens), printers use CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black). Converting to CMYK *before* you start painting helps you visualize how colors will translate in print and prevents unpleasant surprises. Go to Canvas Information > Color Profile and select a CMYK profile like 'Coated GRACoL 2006'.
Remember that screen colors are often brighter than printed colors. Before committing to a final print, do a small test run with a local print shop. They can offer valuable insights into how your chosen CMYK profile will render on their equipment. Happy printing!
