Process colour uses translucent CMYK inks laid on top of one another to create other colours. A spot colour ink is a specially-mixed hue that is not made by combining two or more inks, but rather is a single ink of a specific colour. Spot colours can be brighter or more saturated than process colours, or have special properties, such as metallic gold or fluorescent green. HDC Media Group uses process colours in printing packaging and discs, and spot colours when screen printing on-discs and USB’s. Spot colours are available in package printing for an additional fee. We print spot colours using the Pantone Matching System.
