Use Imposition to Add a Third Color Economically

Reduce the cost of adding a third color to a job

By Jacci Howard Bear, About.com

Design your piece so that only two colors print on one side of the paper. Run black with blue on one side of the press sheet. Then run black with green on the other side. You may incur a slight extra charge for the color change but not as much as if you were mixing black, blue, and green all on one sheet and having to run each side through the press multiple times.
