In article How many colors should I use? By mydesignprimer.com, it differentiated two color printing methods: Process Color Printing and Spot Color Printing.“Process Color Printing With process printing, one has flexibility of a wide spectrum of color choices. This is also printing method that will allow one to use full-color photographs while paying for just four inks (cyan, magenta, yellow and black). The only downside to this method is that colors aren't nearly as vibrant as spot colors and a designer may not be able to match a particular color exactly. Spot Color Printing Typically, spot color printing uses a colored ink system known as Pantone Matching System (PMS). There are hundreds of colors to choose from in this system and some include extra bright colors, dark colors, fluorescent and even metallic colors. Basically, any color you can imagine, you can find as a spot color choice. The downside is that, no matter how many spot colors are used, you can't create full-color photographs.” It was also asked if both processes can be used in a single printing job. And here was answer: Certainly. People do it all time. However, more inks that you use, more expensive cost to print it. Before a job is designed, it's a good idea to talk to your printer and to your designer. They can help you decide how many colors you can afford and how many are needed to accomplish your goals. Whatever your choice, with solid planning, you'll be able to make most of what your budget can afford by using colors effectively.
