Question:  How do color pictures get printed in magazines?


Answer From:  TeachMrMac


Basically it is the same way that artists mix paints. Printers use the three primary colors (red, blue, and yellow) an by screening (using varied densities of dots on the colored area, they can get many shades and mixtures. By overlapping blue and yellow dots, the area is green. Likewise with any other colors mixed. Some printers actually use more base colors, but generally, newspapers use red, yellow, blue, and black, which is called 4-color process.
