Overview
Spot Color Printing
Spot color printing uses non-CMYK spot color inks. This enables printing of a color image on top of a white ink to
make the colors more vivid, or printing gloss ink on top of a color image to provide a gloss finish. Primer ink can
also be printed underneath a color image to improve adhesion to the media.
