 Process Color vs Spot Color   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Process color printing, also known at four-color process printing, is a method that reproduces finished full-color artwork and photographs.
Process colors are reproduced by overlapping and printing halftones to simulate a large number of colors.
Process color printing should not be confused with basic four-color printing, where overlays are cut for the colors, and sheets of halftone dots are used to create other colors and patterns.

 Process color - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Process color is both a method of printing, and a method of specifying a color.
In process color printing colors are created by combining 4 inks (cyan, magenta, yellow and fl).
In spot color printing, each color is printed with its own ink.

 An Introduction - Process Color   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Process color is the means to create full-color images in the printing process by combining layers of the four basic process colors into thousands of other colors.
When you design for process color printing, it is important that your design program can work in the CMYK color space.
To recreate the image in process color, it is broken down into a Cyan component, a Magenta component, a Yellow component and a Black (K) component.

 Printing Orienteering Maps with a 4-color (CMYK) printing process
In spot color printing, the map image is built up very deliberately from discreet colored inks: fl for culture and rock, brown for landforms, blue for water, etc. Where one color interacts with another on a spot color printed map, the two inks simply add together to produce a darker color.
When an image is converted into composite color, all the colors in the image are simulated in some standard color model, by combining varying amounts of the component colors for that model.
Process color has been the standard technique for most color printing for the last 40 years or so, and printers are very accustomed to dealing with it.

 RGB World - Understanding Color
Where the blue and green spotlights overlap, the color cyan is produced; where the blue and red spotlights overlap, the color magenta is produced; where the red and green spotlights overlap the color yellow is produced.
A red apple is a good example of subtractive color; the apple really has no color; it has no light energy of its own, it merely reflects the wavelengths of white light that cause us to see red and absorbs most of the other wavelengths which evokes the sensation of red.
Subtractive color starts with an object (often a substrate such as paper or canvas) that reflects light and uses colorants (such as pigments or dyes) to subtract portions of the white light illuminating an object to produce other colors.

 Process Color and the Computer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Consider, too, that since a color's appearance is greatly influenced by the surrounding color(s), one's choice of color will be affected by the other colors shown on the screen at the same time -- a color monitor with 1,152 by 882 pixels is theoretically able to display 1,016,064 different colors at once.
When dealing with color in electronic form, there need to be some standards to adjust for the differences in devices and to also ensure that the color we see on our computer screen will "accurately" represent the color that is printed.
This is the goal of color management, which depends upon spectrophotometric (hue, saturation, and brightness) value measurements of all visible light as the "gold standard" for color control.

 Four Color Paper
This is the reason that the colors that are used in televisions and color computer monitors are using red, blue and green light.
These processes decrease the time it takes to prepare for printing, the color quality of the reproduction, and a versatility in printing that previously was almost unimaginable.
Hi-fi color is usually defined as printing more color (five, six and even seven) to increase and enhance the range and depth of color that a press can print.

 CJPW Beyond Four-Color Process
Your four color process is normally printed on a five or six-color press, which leaves one or two "units" open for additional colors or finishes.
With the process color dry from the first run, the "off-line" varnish is laid down on a sealed surface, so less ink is absorbed by the paper stock.
While use of this process is limited to special applications such as art posters and big-budget corporate pieces, the inks themselves proved unique for jobs with bright colors.

 print - spot vs. process color   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Colors created without screens or dots, such as those found in the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM®, are referred to in the industry as spot or solid colors.
Each color in the System has a unique name or number followed by either a C, U or M. The letter suffix refers to the paper stock on which it is printed: C for Coated paper, U for Uncoated paper and M for Matte paper.
Process colors are represented as percentages of cyan, magenta, yellow and fl.

 Color Development, Color Matching Process, Color Quality Control
Multiple processes are required for successful color development throughout its long and complicated cycle.
Consider how human factors impact the color matching process in this typical scenario: the designer struggles to communicate precisely the color he or she has envisioned, using physical samples and describing how the proof should vary from the sample — i.e., warmer, brighter, bluer.
The colorant supplier tries to match each sample, but still doesn’t satisfy the design spec because the sample is only a starting point.

 Re: spot color vs process color
Spot colors can also cost more because that part of the job can't be grouped together with other jobs.
A job with a spot color or two has to be run by itself and can't be ganged w ith another, which means you've got to pay for cleaning the press.
The purpose of using the Process colors for Pantone is to avoid the use of S pot colors and create the color as closely as possible with CMYK.
