Digital printing generally prints in a four-colour process. This is made up of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black, with the image being split in to these primary colours and then prints as a set of patterns or percentages of each colour. This will then make up the desired image.

The inks used in digital printers are translucent because they can then be blended to create the image.

The beauty of digital printing is that it is entirely flexible and allows for full customisation of the required image or packaging.
