screen printing basics: 4 color process versus spot color? Hi! New to the forums, have been reading through much information on the forums - thank you for the great site. With regard to 4 color print processes, when determining the number of colors, do half tones or varients of one color constitute an additional color? (water-based inks) In trying to control printing costs, which method is the best to use - 4 color process or spot printing and why? I want to understand how I am going to print before my graphics people develop the artwork. I am also interested in the direct to garment? is this the correct term? printing process - I believe someone stated they are using this with water based inks? Thanks for any help you can provide. |
