process printing

Process printing is best suited for light colored shirts.

Unlike offset printing, which often uses four-color process printing), printing multiple colors can be challenging.

Gum prints tend to be multi-layered images sometimes combined with other alternative process printing methods such as cyanotype and platinotype.

As opposed to normal four-colour process printing, the aim of spectral printing is to eliminate or reduce metamerism either due to illuminant or observer.

In this type of industrial or commercial printing, the technique used to print full-color images, such as color photographs, is referred to as four-color-process or merely process printing.

In 1971, along with artist Alton Kelley, Stanley Miller incorporated Mouse Studios with the Monster Company-first to create t-shirts using four-color process printing.

While the angles depend on how many colors are used and the preference of the press operator, typical CMYK process printing uses any of the following screen angles:

Some, such as those used in CMYK-type process printing, are designed to quickly regain viscosity once they are applied to protect the structure of the dots for accurate color reproduction.

In 1976, he left to pursue his M.Ed in Technology Education at Bowling Green State University, and as a Graduate Assistant taught process photography, offset lithography and screen process printing to undergraduates.

To achieve a wider color spectrum with a limited number of colors, process printing (using only cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink) or simulated process (using only white, black, red, green, blue, and gold ink) is effective.

An emerging method of full-color printing is six-color process printing (for example, Pantone's Hexachrome system) which adds orange and green to the traditional CMYK inks for a larger and more vibrant gamut, or color range.

The "G7" refers to grayscale plus seven colours - the four process printing or subtractive colors CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) and the three screen or additive colors RGB (Red, Green, and Blue).
