4 or 6 Color Printing
Have your jobs printed with the traditional high quality of 4 color printing, or try our 6 color printing for the best quality available in a Press Printed Product.
4 Color
Standard process printing uses patterns of colored dots of varying sizes to trick the eye into seeing a continuous-tone image using only 4 ink colors: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black.
6 Color
6-Color Printing is an HP Indigo process that adds light Cyan and light Magenta inks. This smooths out the dot pattern for increased depth of color and smoother gradients.
