Title: Color Mix C&Y?
Post by: 3Deep on June 02, 2015, 12:40:56 PM
Need a little advice here, we are doing some white shirts left chest logo two color...the customer wants green and blue, but he art they brought in has yellow in it to, so I'm wondering can I use only two of the cymk colors by just using the C&Y to make the green.  I know I could use a royal blue and a yellow straight from plastisol and make something close to green any advice is good advice, I know tossing a yellow screen in there would be the simple answer.

post the art.

some shades of green and blue can not be hit with 4CP inks. Your standard yellow and royal will give you different range, so between the two you should be able to make it work.

Convert the art to CMYK and delete the magenta and black channel. See what it looks like on the monitor. If it's close you are golden!
