Written context

What this film can help you review.

CMYK and specified spot-color workflows solve different print decisions. This film supports a discussion about printed appearance, but a reliable approval still requires the intended board, process, finish, viewing condition and physical reference to be identified.

Look for

  • Compare broad image or tonal areas with color-critical brand areas.
  • Look for surfaces where coating or texture changes perceived color.
  • Identify the panel that should carry the production comparison target.
