it in fact has hundreds of colors and would be implausible to print with spot colors because with the spot color process, a different ink is applied for each different color section.
orange shirt, brown horse, green eyes, etc. Photographs are raster files composed of a multitude of pixels (dots) of different colors.Īlthough the original raster file above (figure 1) may seem to have just a few colors e.g. Types of files that should be printed with the CMYK process are full color photographs, or photo-like images with many blends and colors. Here are samples of Full Color photographs changed to limited color vector drawings. View Pantone Solid (Spot) Color Swatchbook Sample below of the apple changed to 3 SPOT colors: Sample below of an apple separated into the four CMYK plates: Depending on the original, Images with many color blends and continuous tones can look considerably different when changing from CMYK to Spot color. Running the press less than four times may reduce printing costs. If you want to save on printing costs - and your design won't suffer by changing it into less colors - we can redraw your bitmap images as vector graphics using a limited amount of solid SPOT colors. When printing, raster color images can be separated only into the four CMYK color plates (unless they are specifically prepared otherwise) and the press will have to run 4 times.

In this instance the printing press runs only three times reducing printing costs. To print a black, brown and red image black, brown and red pre-mixed inks are used. In simple terms Spot colors are pre-mixed inks and are applied only to the area assigned for each particular color. The press runs 4 times to apply each ink individually. To print ANY multicolor image the same four color inks are used. CMYK vs SPOT Color Separation CMYK Color Printing ProcessĬMYK (also referred to as full color, process color, 4 color), uses 4 different color inks (always the same colors: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black) blended together to achieve the full color spectrum.
