Q&A with Cindy Cooperman, global director of Packaging & Brand, X-Rite

WE ARE HEARING MORE CHATTER ABOUT EXTENDED COLOUR GAMUT PRINTING. CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT THAT IS? This is also referred to as fixed colour palette printing. It uses a fixed palette of colours to achieve more Pantone colours. A common ink set used is CMYK plus orange, green and violet. In 201 5, Pantone released an Extended Colour Gamut guide that translates all of the Pantone colours to ECG recipes. It would very uncommon to see more than three inks to build a colour. The i enefit of this process is to provide more colour choices to brands and designers without the expense of dedicated units on press when the economics of a job do not allow for it.
