The technology for aligning printing registration.

General color printing consists of four colors: black, cyan, magenta, and yellow, which together express all colors. The printing machine has a printing unit for each color, where the printing plates are mounted. The paper passes through each printing unit, receiving ink in the order of black → cyan → magenta → yellow, resulting in the final printed material. What is crucial here is to align the four color plates accurately. The reason for this precise alignment is not only to prevent misalignment of the image but also because even at the halftone level that makes up the image, misalignment can exacerbate moiré patterns. Printing operators need to have the skills to control misalignment caused by various factors. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.
