Should a seamless pattern be RGB or CMYK for printing?

There is no universal rule that every printed pattern must be converted to CMYK before delivery. The correct choice depends on the printer, process, RIP, profile, substrate, and file specification. Preserve the master, obtain the vendor’s instructions, and make one controlled conversion in the production chain.

How do you choose the right pattern scale for wallpaper?
