DCS Books: Professional Edition and Mini Editions

Eliminate trial-and -error CMYK color matches!

The difference in appearance of color when viewed in different color spaces represents on eo fhte greatest problems in prepress. Do not be misled by the RGB colors on your monitor when you are really trying to achieve CMYK on paper. The Digital Color Scale (DCS) Books show you in advance how the ink-on-paper will look. Tens of thousands of color combinations are available. The basic combination on all pages is the mixing of cyan and magenta, with yellow and black overprinting. The chromatic organization of the DCS is in ascending percentages of yellow. The printed color mixes are used to dial-in the correct CMYK values to achieve the desired ink-on-paper results. The quick access tabs indicating yellow percentages make finding your desired color quick and easy.
