UNDERSTANDING SPOT COLORS

SPOT COLORS
Spot color is the term used to describe separation and printing using one spot color for each ink color in the design. Each color that makes a composite image will be printed using a separate screen. Spot colors are generally solid, flat fields of color used for screen printing where a printer can lay down several solid areas of color to produce multi-colored artwork. Spot colors are also used to identify additional colors in a four-color process file or print job.
