Printing is commonly done either in Four-Color Process using Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (CMYK) or in spot color implementing the Pantone¨ Color Matching System (PMS). Four-Color Process is a method of combining various percentages of the four inks to achieve any other color desired. PMS color is based on the industry-standard color palette where colors are given a standardized reference number, which ensures exact color matching. Royal Business Forms uses both methods.
