WHY MULTI CHANNEL AND NOT JUST CYMK PRINTING

WHEN DIGITALLY PRINTING ON TO TEXTILE SUBSTRATES

More coverage of colour space = more colours printed correctly

 

 

REASONS to use more Ink Dye or Pigment colours

Textile substrates absorb the colour.

 

CYM theoretically will print all colours but this is assuming that inks are pure cyan, pure yellow and pure magenta. This is not the case today.

 

It is possible to work in greater colour space on the monitor & transfer in Adobe RGB 1998 or LAB environment.

 

To achieve flame reds, rich purples and deep emerald greens or rich blues at least a blue & orange should be added to the cyan, magenta, yellow & black.
