The four color digital imprint process is referred to by many names, including CMYK, process color, full color, and four color. CenturyLabel’s digital four color imprint process utilizes four ink colors: cyan, magenta, yellow, and key (black). These four imprint colors are combined in different measurements to create a wide variety of colors. CenturyLabel employs a digital application of the four inks, eliminating the need for printing plates. With no printing plates, copy can be changed easily and short runs can be produced at a low cost.
The digital application process used by CenturyLabel enables us to print labels and tags with that are individually unique. This type of variable data printing which was once nearly impossible to accomplish is made easy by the plate free digital printing process. Digital printing also allows for short runs of labels and tags to be printed. With minimal set up time and no expensive plate fees, digital labels can be produced in small quantities at affordable prices.
Another advantage of four color process printing is the potential for multiple imprint colors. While many ink labels are confined to a maximum of two colors, digital labels can accommodate even photographic images with many colors. The limitation of the four color digital process however is the inability to color match. Although imprint colors can be combined to create many different colors and shades, not all colors of the spectrum can be produced with cyan, magenta, yellow, and key.
