They can be available as a single-page chart, or in the form of swatchbooks or color-matching fans. Typically there are two different types of color charts: Color reference charts are intended

A "color space" is a useful ...
The most noticeable result of using light cyan and light magenta inks is the removal of a distinct and harsh dither dot appearance in prints that use light shades of cyan or magenta produced with only the CMYK inks. Usually when printing a dark color the printer will saturate an area with colored ink dots, and conversely, for a light color it ...
