Printing Techniques
CMYK Prints:
CMYK prints are made by printing blue, pink, yellow and black on a white surface. By mixing these base colours, every other colour can be created. Get yourself a newspaper and take a close look. You will see the images are made of tiny blue, pink, yellow and black dots.
Spot Colour Prints:
Spot colour is used by actually mixing ink into the desired colour you want in your print project, as opposed to using the CMYK process to achieve it. We can mix and match pantone numbers.
Spot Colors VS CMYK Prints:
Unlike CMYK prints, Spot colour prints are made by using the original colours. Instead of printing green as yellow and blue dots, a green ink will be used. Therefor Spot colour prints are much more vibrant and accurate.
