DRUPA 2004 -- Gearing Up for the Big Show

FMsix uses standard CMYK inks for images, but combines FM screening with two (of three) special colors to print spot colors. Proprietary FMsix Orange ink is combined with either FMsix Blue (90 percent of the time) or FMsix Green.

Initial development work on the technology was done in cooperation with Creo, Sun Chemical and Artwork Systems. MAN Roland and DuPont have since contributed to the effort, which in DuPont's case includes enabling Digital Cromalin to proof the process.
