Photo Finish

Four-color process [full-color] is a bit of a misnomer.  Though only 4 colors are used [cyan, magenta, yellow + black] C.M.Y.K. makes just short of a kazillion colors.  When you want a realistic rendering of a photograph on a decal, banner, or static cling, 4-color process is the only way to get it.   By blending and overlapping just those four colors, remarkably detailed highlights and shadows can be achieved, adding to the photo-quality realism of an image.

This process is also the best choice for illustrative artwork with colors............a lot of colors.  Color tones; color graduations; color blends.  To reproduce artwork with extensive colors through spot processing would be cost-prohibitive.

The Process of Elimination

Once you've chosen 4-color process, the next step is the production method.  Screen printing, UV offset, and digital printing are all available.  We can help you determine which method is right for your product based on its intended use.  For example, both screen printing and digital printing offer the longest life-span at 3-5 years making this process the best choice for outdoor use.  On the other hand, UV offset affords the highest resolution at 175 lpi, but is more suited to indoor or short-term outdoor applications.
