Using spot inks to replace colors and expand the color range

Before we start thinking about it, we need to first understand what a multi-color ink set is. A multi-color ink set refers to using more inks than the traditional four colors (Cyan C, Magenta M, Yellow Y, Black K) in the printing process. Usually, it's based on the standard CMYK inks, with one or more specific colors added, like Green G, Orange O, Blue V, etc. This extended color printing method can expand the color range, making colors more vivid and accurate, and it can match spot colors better, improving the color quality and visual effect of printed materials.

Customers need faster and more flexible production schedules. This trend will continue thanks to the possibilities of digital prepress. The concept of fixed multicolor ink sets is compelling throughout the printing process – it offers huge advantages not only in digital printing but also in offset, flexo, gravure, and more. Compared to spot color printing, a multicolor workflow significantly reduces printing preparation time by adding extra print colors, and it expands the color gamut, noticeably improving result quality.

Without a reliable color management process, controlling digital printing is difficult.

The possibilities of digital printing are enormous. There's just one issue: even the latest machines can give you surprising print results. Digital printing has no industry standard, and actually, standard digital printing equipment can only take you so far. Prepress is crucial to achieving predictable results in digital printing – manual intervention on the press can only go so far.
