Many presses can print from files that were ripped with images using either RGB or CMYK modes. The color reproduction abilities of a particular color space can vary; the process of obtaining accurate colors within a color model is called color matching.

Spot-color inks range from subtle pastels to intense fluorescents to reflective metallics. Color printing involves a
