4OVER4 FAQ
Answers to the questions business printing raises most, on products, paper stocks, file setup, ordering and shipping, written by a print team working since 1999.
Start with the name. 4 over 4, written 4/4 on a print order, means four ink colors on the front and four on the back: cyan, magenta, yellow and black, the CMYK set, printed on both sides. 4/0 is full color on the front with a blank back, and 4/1 is full color front with black ink only on the back, the usual choice when the back carries plain text. Most jobs on this site, business cards, postcards, flyers and booklets, run 4/4 or 4/0, so settle that first, then stock, then coating, then turnaround.
