For large print runs of 1000s, this is great. Using Pantone colours means you need to have your stuff Lithographically printed (Litho printing), a process using printing plates applied to rollers which transfers the image to the paper. These are generally much brighter than CMYK and also include fluorescent and metallic colours. This has the obvious advantage of decreasing your print time and reducing the amount of support structures required. Pantone colours (also known as spot colours) are specially formulated inks that have a unique colour. For this reason, your may find that you need support structures for any overhang above 45 degrees when using a 0.2mm layer height, but your overhang performance may improve to 60 degrees if you lower your layer height to 0.1mm. There is one solution-albeit a potentially pricey one-for printing bright colours and that’s to use Pantone colours. So what is RGB and CMYK and why are they different? However, for small print runs this isn’t cost effective and digital printing is the best option meaning you’re back to square one. Pantone colours (also known as spot colours) are specially formulated inks that have a unique colour. So if you’ve chosen a colour that isn’t in the range CMYK can print, unfortunately, this means it will come out much duller than what you see on screen. RGB’s additive colour process means it produces colours and brightness that CMYK just can’t reproduce. These differences between RGB and CMYK are the main culprit for your colours looking different on screen compared to the printed version.
