An extension of the traditional four-color process, Hexachrome is PANTONE's version of high-fidelity color. Hexachrome adds orange and green process colors to traditional CMYK, producing CMYKOG.
A proprietary colour separation process, developed by Pantone, that uses six (6) instead of four process colours. (CMYK plus Orange and Green)
COLOR MODEL which uses six primary colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Orange, Green, and Black) to simulate a full range of colors. Hexachrome is sometimes used to print a job on press where very high color fidelity and saturation is required. However, it is significantly more expensive than conventional CMYK printing, as the paper must make two additional passes through the press for the two additional colors of ink. Hexachrome has a much wider GAMUT than traditional CMYK.
Pantone high fidelity process program to crate six-color images from Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator software.
A color separation process developed by Pantone which uses 6 instead of 4 process colors.
The Hexachrome printing process uses a a colour model based on six primary colours as opposed to the traditional four colour process. As well as cyan, magenta, yellow and black, Hexachrome also adds orange and green into the range. To utilise the six colours, images must be scanned and imported using software that can understand the file formats, which most up to date DTP graphics software can. Orange and green are the hardest colours to reproduce in vibrant shades using the traditional CMYK four colour process and so Hexachrome is used when an extremely high print quality colour reproduction is required. The downside is that it is generally far more expensive at the pre-press and print production stages.
A proprietary color separation process, developed by Pantone, that uses six (6) instead of four process colors.
A color-matching system that allows for the combination of six colors in order to create a larger gamut of reproducible color.
This is a colour system that uses a set of six inks, made up of a modified four-colour set plus orange and green. The objective of hexachrome is to improve the printed colour gamut. Using hexachrome allows about ninety per cent of Pantone's special colours.
Hexachrome is an expansion of the normal four colour process, CMYK, that also includes orange and green, thus significantly increasing the number of color combinations available.
A colour separation process developed by Pantone which uses six process colours instead of four
A type of hi-fi color system developed by Pantone Inc. that used CMYK plus orange and green to extend the available color gamut beyond ordinary CMYK in order to reproduce more PANTONE colors without using individual spot-color inks.
Color-matching system from Pantone, Inc. that is used with hi-fi color systems and devices.
A colour-matching system that allows for the combination of six colours in order to create a larger gamut of reproducible colour.
Hexachrome is Pantone's six-color color printing process. In addition to custom CMYK inks, Hexachrome adds orange and green inks to expand the color gamut, for better color reproduction. It is therefore also referred as the CMYKOG process.
