When it comes to producing high-quality printed materials, understanding the terminology can help ensure your final product turns out exactly how you envision it. One term you might encounter when ordering printed items like business cards, brochures, or flyers is “4 over 4.”
What is 4 Over 4 Printing?
In the print world, “4 over 4” refers to full-color printing on both sides of a piece. The “4” represents the four colors used in digital printing: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK). All printed colors are created by combining these four base inks. So when something is printed “4 over 4,” it means it’s printed in full color on both the front and the back. If, for example, only the front is in full color and the back is black and white, it would be referred to as “4 over 1.”
Understanding these basics helps when you’re ready to order print products—and ensures you’re getting exactly what you need.
