An analysis of a case of multi-colored red writing in newspapers

In the publishing system of newspapers and periodicals in the Wisdom News (Wits 3.1), for the red text of the newspaper text (item diagram), the factory has been cutting the entire version of the version, and will need to red text (column map) cut Paste it on another page. In this way, the first page is a black version, and the second page is a red version. Although this method is convenient and simple, the effect is not ideal.

Here introduce another red cover method, especially for variant words (such as edging, three-dimensional, shadow, etc.) set red, the effect is more beautiful, more layered.

For example, when making a variant, the text color is made black or magenta, and the border color is made magenta or black. When making colors, you must set the color to CMYK mode, where the C and Y values ​​are always defined as 0. When making black, the M value is defined as 0, and the K value is defined as between 1% and 100%. When the work is red, the K value is defined as 0 and the M value is defined as between 1% and 100%. The larger the value, the darker the color.

The non-variant character (column diagram) can not only make a single magenta or black color, but also can set neither the M value nor the K value to 0, and generate magenta and black colors.

After the production is completed, remember to open the setting color label item under the page menu, and then close the file, and send the generated *.PS file to the laser imagesetter. When publishing, you must set Gray in the output dialog to CMYK. In this way, the dispatch system will automatically decompose a page sample into two versions of the M version and the K version. The film will automatically be ejected with the aid of a red marker, which is more accurate.

In this way, a variant character set made of red can be realized in various forms such as a red character hook black or a black hook red edge, avoiding the text generated by the first method to be used together with the edging, three-dimensional, and shadows to set red Monotonous effect. It is also very easy to operate.
