Large Format Printing – The CMYK Black Problem

Artwork / Graphic Design, Printing, Signs and Vinyls, , , ,

I recently printed a large PVC banner for a customer. The design and branding consisted of a flat black background, which didn’t print correctly because of a conflict between how different colour models, such as CMYK, RGB and HSV are interpreted. This is a post about the problem and my solution to get the correct CMYK black colour specification.
