Full Color images are printed using Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (CMYK). The Fashion for Darks formula is printed with an opaque white underbase. Fashion for Lights does NOT include a white underbase or print any white in the image. Our Full Color option is recommended for complex graphics containing photographic elements or 4+ colors.
All colors should be CMYK process colors.
Use white only where you wish to have white printed with Fashion for Darks.
Blues & Purples: For true blue tones use CMYK mixes that contain 30% more Cyan than Magenta. Conversely, colors with less than a 30% difference between Cyan & Magenta will have a purple tone.
