A spot colour differs from a process colour in that a spot colour is

  • A.produced by additive mixing on the printed sheet
  • B.always a metallic or fluorescent special effect ink
  • C.a specially mixed ink printed in a single impression
  • D.built up from overlapping cyan, magenta and yellow dots

Answer: C

Correct answer: a specially mixed ink printed in a single impression

A spot colour is mixed to the required shade before printing and laid down in one pass, so it needs no registration and no halftone build. That is why it can reach colours outside the process gamut and why it reproduces consistently - and why it costs an extra plate and press unit.
