Have you ever noticed that when you print something, it doesn’t look as bright as it does on a well-lit screen? Part of that is because of the absence of light shining from behind the image, but also because printers print in a different color mode: CMYK. It’s the default for Procreate and is great for sharing artwork online.

RGB is the color mode that combines Red, Green and Blue light to create the colors you see on screen. What’s the difference between RGB and CMYK?

You won’t be able to insert the PDF into a program like Word to create a collage or resize/crop the image, so a PDF is best for printing as-is. Just open the PDF on your computer and choose File > Print. We typically use the PNG file type for images, but you can also export your project as a PDF and it will retain the quality and dimensions.

If you want to re-size your image or print multiple images on the same page, you can insert the images into a program such as Microsoft Word or InDesign, make your changes, and then press print. If you don't want to print a full-page version, you can scale it down in the Printer settings.
