Color Plate Screen Printing

2021.09.22

The color plate screen printing from Honpe is to show our customers what is the actual effect after we print one color onto the standard color plate. Thus our clients can choose the best color for the logo, marks, special pattern, and some other illustrations on their colored prototypes, to make their prototype more eye-catching, illustrative for testing and being admired by the end-users.

 

You may now guess that this is one type of overprint, processed with the popular screen-printing technique, as I talked about in the last article. Today we’ll talk about the importance of overprinting, higher level CMF technique in Honpe.

 

The appropriate utilization of overprinting can amplify the attractiveness of marketing material when printed. However, unawareness or improper application of overprinting can damage your business's image and end up costing you not only money but much more.

 

Overprinting is a concept that is known to printing companies, but not so much by graphic designers or customers. Although it may be a bit technical, this piece will inform you of what to keep an eye out for and how to repair it.

Observing the demonstration above, initially a yellow rectangular shape is printed. Following this, a pink circular figure is printed over part of the yellow rectangle; the portion of the circle which overlaps the rectangle is what is referred to as overprinting.

Observing the demonstration above, initially a yellow rectangular shape is printed. Following this, a pink circular figure is printed over part of the yellow rectangle; the portion of the circle which overlaps the rectangle is what is referred to as overprinting.

Above, it is demonstrated that if the pink circle is not placed on top of the yellow rectangle, the hues remain accurate. This could also be described as the pink circle erasing some part of the yellow rectangle, as no yellow ink is printed beneath the pink.


The graphic designer is a key creator and protector of your brand's digital resources. When designing logos, illustrations, and patterns, they must be cognizant of how the items will be employed in the future. Poorly executed overprinting can cause the colors to look wrong, or there may be awkward patterns or images in unintended places. Here at , our team of highly experienced graphic designers is skilled at the effect of overprinting and takes steps to avoid any negative results.
