Marlon D. Ludovice Four color printing provides an accurate, detailed, brilliant reproduction of your originals at a low cost-per-sheet.

A lucid paradigm of four color printing is printed materials such as magazines like Time and National Geographic.

Today, this process is widely used and allows you to achieve near-photograph quality in just about any color you can think of.

In order for the four different color printing plates to be created from an original design, which is usually computer generated, they must be separated into the four primary-process colors on four separate pieces of plate-ready film negatives. This is why it is important that when creating documents, the individual converts the RGB image file to CMYK prior to sending it for printing. It should be noted that the four-color process may recreate certain colors a little differently on paper than those that are viewed on a computer monitor.
