You will generally lose colors when you convert bright RGB colors to CMYK printing inks.

This is a lossy conversion from a large to a rather small color space.

On top of that your artwork might contain blending modes that simply do not in CMYK.

So maybe you are asking because of a certain clipart file. This is why it won't work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tiqm5hdQA5A
