Mini tutorial in regards to 2 colour and full colour

any designs with gradients will be a 4 colur process a 4 colour process even if gradients are 2 colours..reason being is that cmyk colours are made of 4 colours. Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and black...different percenages of each colour (CMYK) will create a specific colour and not as cost effective as using pantone (spot COLOUR).

Pantone colours are called spot..which means that these are pre-made colour inks which require no mixing of cmyk..

CMYK Print: requires 4 plates...for example full colour process for silkscreen requires 4 plates (in this case (ruby which is a semi transparent film) this film is used to block out areas not to be inked...T-shirts with full colour will require 4 passes (runs) through the screen 4 times for CMYK to make the final image....

Proccess (pantone) this requires only 2 runs because Pantone inks are already mixed to a specific value....

any question please asks.
