How Does Colour Printing Work?
Colour printing follows the same principles whether it's from a desktop or professional printer.
When Is Plan Printing Necessary?
- 4 basic colours form the printing abbreviation 'CMYK'. Namely : Cyan (blue), Magenta (pink-purple) Yellow and K ( Black).
- With four (primary) colours, our technology can mix them up in percentages to generate a spectrum of hues and tones.
- How? The printer places micro 'dots' onto paper in all the relevant permutations. This is why we talk about ‘dot per inch’ - So, the higher the DPI (AKA resolution), the better the final image.
