About Printing

There are basically two color printing methods to choose from: process-color printing and spot-color printing. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages.
Process Color Printing With process printing, one has the flexibility of a wide spectrum of color choices. This is also the printing method that will allow one to use full-color photographs while paying for just four inks (cyan, magenta, yellow and black). The only downside to this method is that colors aren't nearly as vibrant as spot colors and a designer may not be able to match a particular color exactly.

Typically, spot color printing uses a colored ink system known as the Pantone Matching System (PMS). There are hundreds of colors to choose from in this system and some include extra bright colors, dark colors, fluorescent and even metallic colors. Basically, any color you can imagine, you can find as a spot color choice. The downside is that, no matter how many spot colors are used, you can't create full-color photographs.

Can you use both process and spot colors? Certainly. People do it all the time. However, the more inks that you use, the more expensive the cost to print it. Before a job is designed, it's a good idea to talk to your printer and to your designer. They can help you decide how many colors you can afford and how many are needed to accomplish your goals. Whatever your choice, with solid planning, you'll be able to make the most of what your budget can afford by using colors effectively.

If a designer needs to match a particular color (a logo color perhaps) in a printed piece or has a limited budget, then spot color is something to consider. Spot colors can also be used alongside process (CMYK) colors for greater flexibility.


About Printing (continued)

To ensure that a printer uses exactly the color that a designer intends, color systems were developed. The most common of the spot color standards is the Pantone Matching System or, PMS as it is more commonly known. All of the modern image-editing, vector-drawing and page-layout programs come with a full library of thousands of Pantone colors as part of the program.

In addition, designers will want to have a set of swatch books that show printed examples of the colors and their codes. Swatches are a more reliable method of matching or choosing colors than doing so on-screen. This is because monitors are illuminated by light behind them which makes colors seem brighter on-screen than they are when printed on paper. Also, colors on a monitor are created with red, green and blue light (RGB) rather than mixed ink pigments.

Though some may view spot color printing as being much more limited than CMYK printing, there are many interesting possibilities.
• Two or more spot colors can be mixed to create interesting colors and effects.
• Spot colors can be combined to create duotones, tritones and quadtones that can be very effective and can add some visual interest to otherwise grayscale images.

Unfortunately, it's difficult to proof spot color jobs. Most proofing systems use CMYK-based technology. Some laminated proofs, which work by attaching colored sheets of clear acetate, have some spot colors available but these are often expensive.
