Choice of printed chromatograms

When selecting the color of the four-color printing layout, it cannot be directly selected according to the color on the computer screen. It is necessary to select the printing color spectrum first, and then determine the final color according to the printing color spectrum. In fact, four-color printing has a smaller color gamut relative to the color gamut on a computer screen, making it difficult to achieve highly saturated color reproduction on a computer screen.

Strictly speaking, only when the printing conditions, paper, and ink are the same, the color of the color spectrum can conform to the printing color selected according to the color spectrum. For some printing factories, the printing of special chromatograms is completed in combination with the actual production conditions of the factory, so when designing the layout color, the self-made special chromatograms printed by the factory are selected. If the printing factory does not have a self-made special chromatogram, it needs to make a corresponding selection according to the objective conditions of the factory, and try to choose a chromatogram with similar printing conditions, paper, ink and other conditions, instead of simply selecting it based on which chromatogram is more beautiful.

Judging from the current situation of using chromatograms in printing factories, the chromatograms used are mostly made of imported coated paper in terms of material, and are relatively similar in terms of printing process, so they can restore the original color very well.

However, if printing on newsprint or offset paper, since the above two sub-materials are non-coating materials, the ink absorption is good, and the smoothness is poor, and the ink layer required for specific printing is also relatively thick. The dot expansion is also very serious. When setting the dot area size of the color with the coated paper chromatogram as a reference, it is necessary to reduce the number of screen layers. The number of network layers needs to be set to 26%, and the number of network layers added to the news will be lower, generally 24% is more appropriate.

Of course, the specific settings still need to be determined according to the actual printing process of the contracted printing factory. Contact us for any support at sales@huajinscreenprinting.com
