Colors outside of four colors (below)

Maybe you will find it more difficult to print with four or more colors. Indeed, this depends on the application surface to decide whether or not to adopt high-fidelity printing. Most of the successful examples are in labels and elastic letterpress printing. For example, Sandylion Sticker Design, the world's largest child sticker manufacturer, has transferred some of the 10-12 color versions of the sticker to the six-color printing. This not only saves costs, but also saves a lot of processes and time. Efficiency. Its products include the familiar Winnie the Pooh, Barbie, Spinderman, Buzz Lightyear and many more.

It will be daunting if six-color printing must be actually printed or proofed. Fortunately, inkjet printers nowadays have large color gamuts. For example, New York-based Coloredge needs in-house proof when dealing with Vogue covers. The model used is Epson 10600 plus Ultra Chrome 6 Color ink to simulate Pantone Hexachrome's six-color proofing.

Another photographer, Berald Brimacombe who specializes in photography, has photographed Life, Fortune, Sports and other magazines for more than 40 years. He used the Roland Hi-Fi Jet Pro eight-color printer and pigmented inkjet as the proofer for six-color printing.

future development

Pantone Hexachrome six-color printing is not a perfect process, because the performance is refreshing in purple, orange and green, but it does not cover all Pantone Colors. After all, Pantone Colors is composed of ten sets of mother colors. Of course, the six-color performance can attract people's attention, but some places will still be sacrificed. In addition, the use of six-color printing also requires good manuscripts to match, that is, beyond the RGB manuscript with a wide range of four color gamuts, which may be a bit confusing to the current process. In the future, it can be said that the potential is endless.
