HEXACHROME PRINT (SIX COLOUR PRINT)
Hexachrome can produce exceptional results, particularly for jobs which call for vivid oranges and greens. It involves the combination of six colours, rather than four in the conventional full colour printing, to produce the full rainbow spectrum.
By supplementing the Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black with Orange and Green it is possible to produce a greater range of colours accuratley.
If you are interested in printing using this system later versions of Quark Expres and Coral draw are Hexachrome enabled. Pantone have also produced plugins for use with Adobe InDesign , Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. Alternatively, we may be able to convert the design you have supplied to include Hexachrome colours or images. Please note: The conversion work is chargeable.
We can supply Hexachrome Colour Swatch Books fro Pantone , Solid Pantone or Specific House Colours that need to be matched to Hexachrome equivalents.
For perfect results, we would always recommend a small print run to "prove" the artwork and make sure you are happy with the results before a large Hexachrome or Metal FX job is printed. Contact us for further details
