DCS® books: Professional Edition & Mini editions
The difference in appearance of color when viewed in
different color spaces represents one of the 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 books (DCS) 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 overprinted. The chromatic organization of the DCS is in
ascending percentages of yellow.
 | Use the printed color mixes to dial-in the correct CMYK
values to achieve your desired ink-on-paper results. |
| Quick access tabs indicating yellow percentages make
finding your desired color quick and easy. |
