Four Color Printing

Color printing is a reproduction of an image or text in color while four color printing is the method used to print a full range of colors. Four color printing is used to reproduce color photographs and uses three primary ink colors: cyan, magenta and yellow. This type of color printing also uses black ink and is commonly abbreviated CMYK. Four color printing begins by separating the original artwork into red, green and blue components which can be done using a digital scanner. These separations are then inverted so that a negative image of the red component represents the cyan component of the image and negative images produced by blue and green represent the yellow and magenta separations, respectively.

Cyan, yellow and magenta are the three main pigments in four color printing and when combined should result in a reasonable reproduction of the original image. However, the limitations in ink pigments result in the darker colors being muddied and dirty. To solve this problem in four color printing, a black separation is also created to improve the shadow and contrast of the image. Because black forms the "key" color, four color printing is abbreviated CMYK. Four color printing is commonly used to print a variety of items and results in a high quality finish that is bound to impress even the non-artistic. It is commonly used to print calendars, brochures, postcards and even business cards.

How is BAG Different From Any Other California Printing Company?

Even when you’re not in a rush, getting a print job can be quite the hassle. There’s the concept and design, printing and distribution. Typically, this involves dealing with several groups of people – creative departments, graphics designers, print shops, fulfillment centers.

This means explaining your vision over and over again, hoping each person involved comes away with a clear understanding of what you want. At BAG, you don’t have to go through all that. You get the benefit of explaining your goals and requirements once, to someone who understands every aspect of the task. Whether you need creative inspiration or simply complete dedication to success, you’ll find it at Bay Area Graphics. This is a California Printing Company unlike any other.
