    Printing Russian 5,000 ₽ banknotes with a metallic spot color. In offset printing, a spot color or solid color is any color generated by an ink (pure or mixed) that is printed using a single run, whereas a process color is produced by printing a series of dots of different colors.

  3. CMYK color model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMYK_color_model

    CMYK, as well as all other process color printing, is contrasted with spot color printing, in which specific colored inks are used to generate the colors seen. Some printing presses are capable of printing with both four-color process inks and additional spot color inks at the same time.

  4. Trap (printing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trap_(printing)

    The same approach applies if one of the colors is a spot color and the other a process color. Trapping becomes more difficult if both colors are process colors and each is to be printed as a combination of the basic printing colors cyan, magenta, yellow and black. In this case, the trapping decision depends on the amount of ‘common’ color.

    A professional color profiling system like the ones listed at the International Color Consortium (ICC) [15] and using ICC color profiles are required. Spectrophotometers to validate the color of the CMYK ink and spot colors are also important in prepress.

  8. Printing registration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printing_registration

    Other colors, regardless of their relative luminance, are always trapped to (spread under) these spot colors. If several of these spot colors are used (a common practice in the packaging market), the order of printing layers rather than luminance is the decisive element: the first color to be printed is spread under the next color.

  9. List of color spaces and their uses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_color_spaces_and...

    RGB (red, green, blue) describes the chromaticity component of a given color, when excluding luminance. RGB itself is not a color space, it is a color model. There are many different color spaces that employ this color model to describe their chromaticities because the R/G/B chromaticities are one facet for reproducing color in CRT & LED displays.
