Question
What does "4/0", "4/1", or "4/4" actually mean?
Answer
The two numbers describe how many ink colors print on each side of a piece. The first number is the front, the second is the back, and 4 means full-color CMYK.
| Notation | Front | Back |
|---|---|---|
| 4/0 | Full-color CMYK | No ink |
| 4/1 | Full-color CMYK | One ink color |
| 4/4 | Full-color CMYK | Full-color CMYK |
- 4/0, or 4over0, means the front has the four CMYK ink colors and the back has no ink at all.
- The 4 refers to the four process inks: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black.
