Blue Backing Decal Paper vs White Backing
Blue backing decal paper is typically used with clear waterslide decals, making light or transparent designs easier to see before application. White backing paper is used when the design includes white or needs a solid background to stay vibrant, especially on dark surfaces. Choosing the right backing depends on your design and the color of the surface you’re applying the decal to.
Why CMYK? What is CMYK?
CMYK, which stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (Black), is the standard color model used in professional printing. It works through subtractive color mixing, layering inks to create a full spectrum of colors on paper. Black ink is added separately to enhance contrast and detail, making prints sharper and more efficient.
Adobe Illustrator vs Adobe Photoshop?
Adobe Illustrator is best for creating scalable vector graphics like logos and icons, while Photoshop is ideal for editing photos and pixel-based artwork. Each tool has its strengths, depending on your design needs.
