4 Colours vs. 6 Colours

Last week, I went to Heidelberg in Mississauga to print a test-form for a research project my group was conducting. We wanted to see how the addition of two colours to the CMYK process would affect the colour gamut as compared to the traditional 4-colour CMYK process.
Here's how our day went:


Heidelberg Speedmaster XL105 10-Color Press.

Black


Cyan


Magenta

Our project was a big deal.


Okay bye!
