Question
What is the difference between 4/0 and other color printing options?
Answer
Print color options are written as two numbers separated by a slash, showing how many ink colors print on each side. The 4 stands for full-color CMYK process printing, and the second number tells you what happens on the back.
| Notation | Front | Back |
|---|---|---|
| 4/0 | Full color | Blank |
| 4/1 | Full color | One ink, often black |
| 4/4 | Full color | Full color |
- 4/0 is common when the back is left blank, such as simple postcards or single-sided cards.
- Choose 4/4 when you want photos or color on both sides.
