What is HD 6-Color Printing Upgrade?

Standard Press Printing (4-color / CMYK)

• Uses 4 inks: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black (CMYK)
• This is the industry standard for most printing
• Colors are created by mixing these 4 inks in tiny dots
• Limitations:
  • Smaller color range (gamut)
  • Less vibrant blues, greens, and oranges
  • Skin tones and gradients can look slightly flatter

This is the “baseline” quality you see in most printed materials.

🌈 HD 6-Color Upgrade (Extended Gamut Printing)

• Uses 6 inks instead of 4
  • Typically adds Orange + Green (sometimes other variants)
• This is often called “extended gamut” or “hexachrome” printing
• Designed to produce a wider color range and more accurate tones

What improves:

• More vibrant colors (especially blues, greens, oranges)
• Better skin tones (huge for portraits)
• Smoother gradients (less banding)
• Closer match to what you see on screen
• More depth and detail in images

Essentially, it bridges the gap between digital (RGB) and print.
