CYMK vs. CMYKOG > all you wanted to know



Unlike CMYK printing, Hexachrome employs an RGB workflow so that color gamut is not compressed. At the outset, it is critical to develop an RGB and color managed workflow to maximize the extended color advantage. PANTONE HEXWAREe® plug-ins are used in conjunction with Adobe® Photoshop® and Adobe Illustrator® to color-correct files, separate into six channels and soft-proof images while QuarkXPress is Hexachrome enabled. Our Hexachrome Designer Primer, available as a PDF download, provides an easy to understand overview on preparing files for printing in Hexachrome. Lastly, in addition to a six-color press and access to six-color proofing system, specially formulated Hexachrome inks are required.
