FOUR-COLOR PROCESS

The four-color process uses four transparent colors - yellow, magenta, cyan and black - that emulate photographic reproduction when each color is printed one on top of the other in different tone values. This process can only be printed directly on white fabric. To use any other fabric colors, a fifth color of white must be used.

There may be an initial separation fee for half tones.
