We’ve talked about what’s new in full color printing. Now we will focus on some of the spot color and specialty printing options. You’ll find them in Sections Three and Four of the binder.

In offset printing, a spot color is printed with a single ink, as opposed to process color where four ink colors (CMYK) are used to produce a color. This process is often used to maintain the color fidelity or accuracy of the color throughout the printing process. Choose from standard inks or special inks from an established source system such as Pantone Matching System, Pantone Inc.’s check-standard trademark for color reproduction and color reproduction material.
