Flat ink printing uses the same artwork to compare one spot color, two clear spot colors and full-color CMYK output. Foil, UV, pressed imprint, raised emboss and lamination stay in their own sections.

01

Single-color

One ink plate, shown as cobalt blue spot color with lighter tints, for simplified artwork and practical custom cover production.
