  4. spot and process colors A process color is printed by combining the four standard CMYK process inks: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. By blending these inks in varying proportions, the printer can reproduce most colors. A spot (or custom) color is a special premixed ink that is used with, or instead of, CMYK process inks. A spot color requires its own plate on the press. The difference between the two types of color is that process colors are printed as four-color separations, corresponding to the four process inks.
