Pantone Process Colour (CMYK)
Understanding the difference between Process Colour Printing and Solid Colour Printing (also known as Spot) is incredibly important in setting color expectations from design intention to production and when transitioning from a computer screen to the printing press.
Process Colour Printing is a method of printing colors using Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (CMYK).
Solid color printing, also known as Spot or offset, uses ink mixed to a precise formulation, resulting in more precise colors and allowing for bold, vibrant colors.
