 Spot colour printing is not like full colour process printing.
In full colour process printing, four primary colours (cyan, magenta,
yellow & black) are used offering hundreds of thousands of possible
combinations to create full colour printing. In spot colour printing,
single colours of ink are used that limit the possible colour combinations
to those specific inks. For example, if you had a spot colour job
that was being printed in green ink, the only variations in colour
you will see is where the ink has been "screened" to give
the appearance of a lighter shade. If you are printing with two
colours, you are limited to those two colours and the lighter shades
available through screening those two colours.
While there are some limitations to spot colour printing, there
are also some advantages over full colour printing: 1) Cost- Particularly on shorter runs, spot colour printing can
cost significantly less than full colour printing 2) Vibrancy and availability of colours. Because of the way spot
colours are mixed, there are numerous colours that can be created
with spot colour inks that can't be duplicated in full colour
printing such as fluorescent inks, metallic inks, mat, gloss and
tinted varnishes. |
Imagine... Your printing coming to life in full colour.
Our "Four Colour Process" makes it happen for you. People
will sit up and take notice when your product or service is presented
in full living colour. What Is "Four Colour Process"? The most common colour system for print, producing
full colour. The vast majority of magazines and colour books
are produced using four-colour process. Originally the artwork
and originals were separated photographically using filters to
produce four printing plates. Today's separation and production
is carried out digitally. The four ink colours are Cyan (Blue), Magenta (Red), Yellow and Black - often referred to as CMYK.
Because the inks used are translucent, they can be overprinted and combined in a variety of different proportions to produce hundreds of thousands of possible colour combinations. Although the range of colours that can be achieved
is suitable for most jobs the process has its limitations. It
is important to remember that many colours that are available
as special inks have no close equivalent in four-colour process.
In some cases it may be necessary to print a extra plates in order
to match, for example, • Exact corporate colour(s) • Metallic Inks
• Fluorescent inks • Varnishing (see the cover of this booklet
for a varnishing example). The
additional cost of this is normally prohibitive and the necessity
should be avoided at the design stage. It is not unusual, where an elaborate effect
is required, to print in six or more colours. There are presses,
which are capable of printing eight different plates in a single
run through the machine. This can be an expensive process but
the results achievable are truly unique. |
