Typical car color mix
The autotypical color mixing is a combination of subtractive color mixing and additive color mixing in four-color printing .
It is created in the print that the light reflected by the printing material - through the individually imperceptible semi-transparent (translucent) color dots in the print raster - is mixed additively (physiologically) in the eye. In addition, the color dots are so close together in the print grid that they partially overlap. The superimposed partial areas mix subtractively (physically) onto the printing material. In addition, parts of the substrate are not printed with ink.
The physiological color mixture in the eye, the physical color mixture on the printing material and the reflection of the unprinted areas in the print raster together create the color impression.
