Make sure that your images are at least 350dpi at 100% reproduction size.


Color printing of an image in color also commonly called four-color process printing. When four-color process printing is used the colors are cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (also known as CMYK). Color printing involves a series of steps in order to generate a quality color reproduction.


Color separation process


The process of color separation occurs when the original artwork is digitally scanned into red, green, and blue components. This produces the desired result for the computer display which represent the red, green, and blue (RGB) components of the original image.

The next step is to invert each of these separations into CMYK colors.
Cyan, magenta, yellow, and black are the four main pigments used for color reproduction. When these four colors are combined in printing, the result should be a reasonable reproduction of the original art.
