Why do the colors look darker or muted on the PDF version of my cards?

0

The PDFs created by the Business Card Maker use CMYK colors, which are best for printing and required by most commercial printers for printing jobs. They may display darker on your screen depending on what application you are using to view the PDF. This is particularly noticeable when using the built in “Preview” application on a Mac as opposed to Acrobat Reader. The best way to see the colors of your card is to print a test sheet to make sure you are happy with your card’s colors.
