For most printing conventional colour
made up of cyan, magenta, yellow and black is quite
acceptable. Where extra vibrancy and impact is needed
Hexachrome maybe the answer. In the Hexachrome process
the normal cyan, magenta, yellow and black colours
of conventional printing are supplemented with orange
and green. This means a much greater range of Pantones
can be reproduced accurately, and pictures look
much more vibrant and life-like..
There are currently no economical ways of proofing
Hexachrome. We would always recommend a small print
run to 'prove' the artwork before a large Hexachrome
job is printed
Please make sure
that your art/design package supports Hexachrome
and exports to a printable file
