Eliminating the need for Spot Colors
![Page 7: The “Green” Evaluation of Hallmark’s Color Reproduction System Scot R. Fernandez Senior Creative Technology Specialist Creative Technologies.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020714/56649eb05503460f94bb620f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Color Reproduction Challenge CMYK Color Gamut Limitation
CMYK is limited compared to common design color communication tools.
Using spot colors toproduce the product leadership desired by our Creative staff would be too costly.

Multi-Color, Process InksLithography Uncoated Example
Hallmark was a pioneer in developing, wide- gamut,
multi-process ink
systems, and high-
end color separations
Over 45 years ago,
Hallmark developed
a proprietary 6 color
ink set that included a
fluorescent Pink, Light
Cyan, and a stronger set of CMYK
