The short answer is: you can't It is about the different colour gamut (the complete range or scope of something).

What you see in the real world is different to what you see on a RGB monitor & Gimp, and is different again to what will be printed using CMYK.



In particular, blue, green and all bright vibrant colors cannot be printed. If you need a design that is only going to be printed then do not use Gimp. Start and finish in CMYK mode and for freeware there is Krita.

Okay thanks for the information. I have found a printer that prints RGB. Now I just want to know how to make crop marks in GIMP on a design for the printer.
