Custom Design/Plastic Bags Process Printing     1    2  

   Ideal for reproducing full-color photographs and images.

 Process Printing utilizes 4-color artwork that is always a full-color image separated into cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y) and black (K) film components. Each piece of film  contains a pattern of tiny dots, which must be printed in exact position (registration) to each other to reproduce the image.

4-Color Process Printing uses cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks to produce over 5,000 possible colors.
Notice how the colors are printed on top of each other to produce the final image.
