What color format do you print?
Answer
We print using the industry standard of 4 color process which consists of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black also know as CMYK. A recent development in printing, is the HexaChrome process. This is an extension of the CMYK process, but with an additional two inks, to allow for further color range. This however requires a special setup and cost. Computer monitors, Web and televisions use the RGB (red, green, blue) format.
Color critical printing.
If your job is color critical, we recommend that you request a digital proof for your job. Colors will be in tolerance from a proof within 10%. There are other options for more exact color than gang run printing. PMS or Spot colors are recommended to achieve certain colors.
