You seem to be stuck on this......"4-color printing process"......you keep repeating it.

Well if you do a search you will see that I described this aspect of color printing a while back.

Here's my Thread from 2 years ago......

http://www.network54.com/Forum/153652/message/1137446146/

And, here is an excerpt from it.......

"All the way back to 19th Century Lithography printing,
a 4 - color process is employed to create all the various
colors. The inks used in this process are Yellow, Magenta,
Cyan (blue), and Black. So, each card (or sheets of cards)
go thru 4 inking passes in order to produce the completed
cards."

Back in the late 19th Century color printing was done with a 6 - color process. In the past 50 years
its been refined to just 4 - colors. And, there is no reason not to believe that a 5 - color process was
employed in the interim.

The discussion that I had....that you are stuck on....was with Joe D and he is willing to examine my Leaf
cards at the forthcoming Reading Show to make a final determination. This was a friendly discussion be-
tween Joe D and I.....and, why you have to insinuate yourself into it and make a "federal case" of it, tells
us that it's you with of problem.
