The Process Manual

• Lighten Selects the lighter of the base and blend colors and uses it as the resulting color. • Difference Depending on whether the base color or the blend color is brighter, subtracts one from the other. • Exclusion Similar to Difference, but with less contrast. • Hue Creates a color from the base and blend color. • Saturation Creates a color from the base and blend color. • Color Creates a color from the base and blend color. Especially useful with black and white. • Luminosity Like color, but creates the inverse of the blend and base color. USING COLOR You can use several types of color on your yearbook pages. • Process color These are colors that are created by mixing percentages of the four colors used in printing: cyan, magenta, yellow and black, also known as CMYK. Always be careful when mixing your own colors, because what you see on your computer monitor does not necessarily reflect the color that will be printed in your book. It is best to mix colors only for which you have a printed sample, as this will be a much better example of how the color should appear on your yearbook page. • Four-color This term applies to pages that are printed in full color, including photos. The four colors refer to cyan, magenta, yellow and black. • Formula Colors These are 440 specially blended Walsworth colors that can be used on your pages, including Rich Black. • UV coating UV coating is a liquid gloss plastic finish applied after printing. UV coating can be applied to rectangle shapes and across an entire page, which is called UV flood. When you specify Formula Colors on your pages, always choose the colors you want from Walsworth’s Formula Color poster. This printed version of the colors will match what will actually be printed on your yearbook pages. The colors you see on your computer monitor do not accurately represent the colors’ appearance when printed in your yearbook.

NOT E
