In practice: we need to add a black plate because of material problem of ink and filter.

Color Masking
Color masking has three distinct goals in color reproduction:
※To compress the density range of the color original
(called tone correction)
※ To compensate for color deficiencies in process inks (called color correction)
※ To enhance the detail of the final reproduction (called sharpness enhancement)
![Page 37: Printing Technology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681355a550346895d9cbee4/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The Color BlackWhy black? Essentially, black is used in multicolor printing to
reduced the technology expense of three chromatic colors to create black or gray value by the direct use of black ink, to cut down the use of expensive high-quality chromatic inks and also, primarily, in order to stabilize the printing process, that is, to make it less sensitive to variations in the individual colors.
![Page 38: Printing Technology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681355a550346895d9cbee4/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
There are several methods for controlling the black color separation, that is, for supplement chromatic composition using the colors cyan, magenta, and yellow with the fourth color, black:
Chromatic composition with Under Color Removal (UCR)
Achromatic composition (or GCR: gray component reduction)
Black creation
![Page 39: Printing Technology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681355a550346895d9cbee4/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Under Color Removal (UCR) is a variant of chromatic composition, in which a part of the example there is to be a 30%UCR of the used brown. To this end ,the achromatic portion composed from cyan, magenta, and yellow is reduced from 70% by 30% and replaced by the corresponding black portion. As a result of this the area coverage is no longer 240%, but only 180% with the same apparent hue. This greatly simplifies the printer’s task , because the danger of offsetting is reduced and the color balance is easier to maintain.
Chromatic Composition with Under Color Removal
![Page 41: Printing Technology](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681355a550346895d9cbee4/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Achromatic composition Unlike chromatic composition, in achromatic
composition in principle all achromatic portion are replaced by black (GCR: gray component replacement). Therefore, the blackening of chromatic color shades is no longer done by means of complementary color, but solely by black. The brown shown as example consists in achromatic composition of only magenta, yellow, and black. The area coverage is a total of only 100%. As a result of this, the color portion of cyan, magenta, and yellow can be noticeably reduced in all images and hues, the printing process becomes more stable, the ink acceptance (trapping) behavior noticeable improved.
