color commercial printing comes up fairly high on the list.
What does
full color printing represent to a
commercial
printer? To a
commercial printer,
full
color printing is printing in
CMYK. These
are the 4 basic colors that a printer uses to reproduce a color
photograph.
CMYK represents Cyan(C), Magenta(M),
Yellow(Y) and Black(K).
These are based on the primary colors of light.
Cyan is similar to a bright baby blue and magenta is close to a pinky
red. Being a man it is hard to describe colors this way but that is how
I would describe them. A colored picture is broken up into dots of
these four colors. These dots are arranged to represent as close as it
can to a continuos tone picture(photograph) in varying sizes and
percentages. This is what
full color printing means
to a
commercial web printer.
