Common sense of printing color

1. What is printing color?

In Illustrator, process colors can be designated as global or non-global colors.

Non-printing colors do not automatically update the entire document when editing. By default, mixed color is not the color of the whole station.

The global process color is linked to the colors in the palette, so if you modify the color of the global process color, all objects that use the color will be updated. Printing colors globally makes it easier to modify the page color scheme, and there is no need to find and adjust every object to which colors are applied.

This is especially useful in standardized and production-oriented documents such as magazines. Using the Color Options dialog box, you can change a non-global process color to a global process color.

Select Process Color in the Color Mode option, and then select the Global option in the Color Options dialog box to change the non-global process color to a global process color.

2. Common sense of printing

1. General paper printing can be divided into black-and-white printing, spot color printing and four-color printing, and multi-color printing is more than four-color printing.

2. Patterns and characters printed on objects and metal surfaces can be divided into screen printing, pad printing, hot stamping (gold and silver) and flexographic printing (plastic products). 3. Traditional printing plate-making generally includes offset printing PS plate (making graphic information into film) and paper plate light printing (also called quick printing).

With the development of the market, the pace and changes of business activities are getting faster and faster, and the immediate business needs have made great changes in printing technology. Commercial short printing and digital commerce express printing CTP came into being (direct printing without plate making).

4. Text typesetting documents can be lightly printed in paper version (zinc oxide version) for short versions with low quality requirements, which can save printing costs, reduce printing costs, save time, and be fast and efficient. According to the size of paper, there are usually three types: large format, medium format and small format.

For 787* 1092 paper, 12 is a large format, 16~36 is a medium format, and 40 is a small format, but books with characters as the main content are generally medium format. Folio shapes are rectangles with different proportions except 6 quarts, 12 quarts, 20 quarts, 24 quarts and 40 quarts, which are suitable for books with different properties and uses.

3. Knowledge of color printing

This involves too much, so it is not clear here.

You can say it briefly.

1. From the point of view of printing principle

There are many color modes, and printing is based on CMYK (corresponding to printing four boards of cyan, magenta, yellow and black; In photoshop software, the file color mode is CMYK, which corresponds to thinking through)

Conventional four-color printing, that is to say, all colors in the world are four-color superposition. Of course, if it can't be superimposed, print with spot color or 6-color or 8-color printer. ...

In ps, the value range of CMYK is (1 ~ 100). ...

4. What is the common sense of printing?

You have mastered the following two courses, which are very useful, introduction to printing and printing colorimetry.

Introduction to printing: printing materials, printing colors, prepress technology, printing plate making, printing technology, post-press processing, special printing and digital printing, and quality control of printed matter.

Printing chromatics:

Light and color vision, color vision formation, basic properties of color, mixing law, CIE colorimetry system, color representation of color, light source colorimetry, printing color, computer color representation, color measurement and color management.

After studying, I will work for three years, either as a captain or as a production director, hehe!

Of course, the key points are: printing technology, color mixing law, printing color and quality control of printed matter.

I don't know if you are satisfied with this answer.

5. How to choose the printing color sequence

The color sequence of printing in flexography is not fixed, especially for multi-color screen printing, the following factors should be fully considered when selecting the color sequence of printing.

(1) printability. The drying speed of ink affects the overprint effect.

If the lower ink is moderately dry, the printing effect after overprinting is good; If the lower ink dries excessively, resulting in the phenomenon of "vitrification", then the dot of the upper ink will shrink after printing, or even cannot be printed at all, resulting in printing failure. (2) the change law of color.

Printing belongs to subtractive method, so the printing color sequence has little influence on high-key mixed color, but has great influence on dark tone. (3) the transparency of ink.

Ink has a certain hiding power, and overprinting of post-press ink on pre-press ink will affect the color rendering effect. (4) the characteristics of the picture.

Generally speaking, if the dot area is small, print first, and if the dot area is large, print later. Plates with main colors on the screen can be printed later or later.
