We're printing a full color photograph using our Heidelberg platen press from 1960! Take a closer look at how Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black ink can reproduce a full spectrum of color. Using four different copper halftone printing plates, we take you through the step-by-step process. Our goal is to help you understand what's happening behind the scenes when CMYK printing is done. Whether you're printing with letterpress, offset lithography, screen printing, or digital printing, the principles of four color printing remain the same. Using our letterpress technique, it's easy to see and understand what's happening as each layer of color slowlyl brings the artwork to life. This challenging project is unique and uncommon but it's the best way for graphic designers and artists to fully grasp the science and inner workings of high quality printing.
