Two-color printing in early years
In the early years of two-color printing, you may only remember "black+red" or "black+blue". This is selected from the four colors of CMYK, because yellow printing alone may not be easy to read. But the combination of red and blue sometimes looks a bit dazzling and not very advanced.
Now two-color printing
Now with the reduction of spot color printing cost, we can try more combinations! For example, our latest book uses "black+imitation gold" and its overall style is super unified.
Diversity of two-color printing
Two-color printing is not just "black+spot color"! Any two inks can be mixed and printed! Just like the two-color ice cream when I was a child, the two flavors are delicious when mixed together!
Cost consideration
Of course, we should consider the cost. Spot color ink is more expensive than CMYK, and PANTONE spot color is more expensive. Therefore, it is necessary to skillfully combine cost and effect to make it both economical and beautiful!
Inspiration comes from inspiration.
I hope these sharing can give you some inspiration! Come and try two-color printing!
