process of preparing an original piece of art or other color picture for printing by creating a separate image for each color plane (i.e. cyan, magenta, black and yellow)
Color printing is the reproduction of an image or text in color (as opposed to simpler black and white or
monochrome printing). The method used to print a full range of colors (colour - UK), such as for reproducing a color photograph, is referred to as four-color process printing because it used three primary ink colors -- cyan, magenta, and yellow, plus black (abbreviated as
CMYK). Another emerging method of full-color printing is six-color process printing (for example,
Pantone's
Hexachrome system) which adds orange and green to the traditional CMYK for a larger and more vibrant
gamut, or color range.
