Four Color Process Screen Printing breaks a design down into the subtractive
primary process colors: cyan, magenta, and yellow. A process black is added for
density, and a clear super guard is added for imprint durability. Reproducing
images with a wide variety of colors and blends becomes very economical with
Four Color Process because it only uses four inks.
