Digital printing, Offset printing : Spot Color RGB and CMYK

Did you ever wonder why the printed output looks different from what has been done on your monitor? I face this all the time because my design on the computer and get approval from my digital subscribers (usually via e-mail), and no matter how much I explain to my clients was their job will not print Just That They see the color on the screen, 'the not fully understand until I Seen them. That's why I always insist on the evidence before Submitting the final image to be printed. (There Are Also The difference between the monitor and the browser, and how to Those Who are not compatible, but that's another article). I ask the help of the press 1Stop Inc. in Golden, CO I know I can speak a little smarter 'about it. Are they good enough to answer my question, I Seen them shop around, and let me watch the printing process to be more qualified to talk about it.

Digital printing

The monitor has a light behind Them, that's why pictures are so life (and the world of HD at this time, ridiculously alive). Anything with the monitor or screen (TV, computer monitor, phone, small LCD screen on the printer, scanner, etc..) Use the RGB (red, green, blue) to see color. Printer, as you have at home, using a CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and black) to process the print job and to do so by Applying tiny dots of ink on the paper at different angles to produce the desired color (inkjet printer ink ). This is called the printing process, which effectively means-it is a mixture of CMYK to Achieve the desired color you requested. CMYK is, a generic if you want, the color was not the same package, so trying to get different output from printer to printer and print cartridge print cartridge, and the day to day, depending on how the printer or calibrated every job.

So why not look the examination? What we see is a change from RGB to CMYK color. And "Because not all RGB colors can be reproduced in CMYK, meaning they are outside the CMYK color gamut. Remember, there is a very bright light behind the scenes Making of bright colors. RGB color combine to make white and CMYK colors are combined to create a black . You will always see a little color change, although it can be very mild.

I know, That brings us to the press, where and how.

But remember, if you have to change the ink cartridges in the middle of a job, you might get a little color change of the remaining copies. This is true even when you Into Those large printing company "DIY" which offers the use of their printing machine with great discounts. It's still a CMYK digital printing and processing I hope to have something a little different from, may be imagined. Above all remember that when you use an online printing company discount. Once you submit your work, you are engaged in manufacturing, regardless of color.

Offset printing

Maybe now you've heard of offset printing, but wondered what was meant. I personally always prefer a digital offset printing when it's convenient, because output is very large and there is no guessing on what color you get. This is generally used in high volume commercial printing and used to be very expensive compared to digital printing, but computer technology has made it affordable offset printing blackberry.

In its simplest explanation, the offset printing ink was placed on the plate means clustering and Transferred to the printing surface. Imagine carving an image on a metal plate (or some other way), add ink to the plate, and pressed to paper. Obviously it is more and get involved from 1800 and was returned to the Printing lithographs (very long day), but this printer uses a computer to plate system's highly efficient, Special to the high volume of work.

What You Should Know That It is about offset printing is of exceptional quality, working on various surfaces, and the cost down more salt. More importantly (at least for me) Is That you can choose the color to be printed (not guess) and repetitive work will be the turn of the examination in color. This is the Pantone Matching System two to ®. Digital printing simulates the color you want to use process color (CMYK), so that the colors are not quite right, and Pantone color is fine.

Spot Color

When talking about Pantone colors, you're talking about a fourteen-color system which is then mixed with according to PANTONE ® MATCHING SYSTEM. This formula is used by offset printing and proves very efficient to make that perfectly matches the color again and again. It's like what you do when you mix red and blue to make purple, Pantone system only tells you exactly how much the amount of red and blue will take you to the purple color you want so you can create again and again. When you hear someone talking about the color spot, they talk about real and not a mixture of colors, the colors are created with dots as in the ink jet printer.

Which should I choose? There are two advantages to the printing system.

Many people doing small print jobs to find the cheapest digital printing, Especially Since the setup is easy. This is the reason why you can go to they do-it-yourself printing company, where you get instant gratification, leaving the output.

If you are thinking of using special paper, printing surface of the unusual or unique size, offset printing may be the right choice. Although September could not be more expensive initially, the unit cost or reduce the volume goes up, it will be easier to make high-yield volume blackberry Usually the offset to the printer. Spot colors will give a better color to be found again and again from the actual offset printers use Pantone ® inks. I always recommend offset printer for the logo, 'The Right to Same every time you print.
