Q
- I work in Microsoft Word on a PC - can you print from
a file in this format?
A - Yes
As well as Apple Macintosh applications we have developed
reliable methods for printing from the majority of applications
available on the PC.
Q - Will the colour of my printing
match the colours shown on my monitor?
A - No
Unless your monitor has been calibrated to our press
then the colours on your printing will not match what
you see on screen.
Q - Will colours print as vibrantly
on Cartridge paper as they do on Gloss Art Paper?
A - No
The nature of cartridge paper means that the ink dots
will spread more (Dot Gain). This has the effect of
darkening images and colours especially colours which
are dark to start with. |
Q
- What is the difference between spot colour and full
colour printing?
A - Spot colour printing is a method that uses a different
ink for each colour. Full colour printing uses four
inks mixed in different quantities to produce the illusion
of multicolour images. The colour of these four inks
are cyan, magenta, yellow and black. Colour produced
using these inks is referred to as process colour, CMYK
or full colour printing.
Q - Will the colour of my printing
match the colour hard copy I have printed out on my
desktop printer?
A - It is unlikely. If you would like us to closely
match the printing to your colour print, we may need
to amend the colours in your file. |
