Focoltone

Four Colour Process Printing
The most common system for producing full colour print. Originally the artwork and originals were separated using filters and four printing plates were produced.

The four ink colours are Cyan (Blue), Magenta (Red),Yellow and Black - often referred to as CMYK. Because the inks used are translucent, they can be overprinted and combined in a variety of different proportions to produce a wide range of colours.

The vast majority of magazines and colour books are produced using four-colour process.
