Process Color Printing On A One-color Press

A typical neutral gray balance consists of a 65 percent cyan and 50 percent magenta and yellow. By the way, whenever black is added to a color the result is called a shade. Likewise, whenever white is added to a color the result is called a tint. The hue remains unchanged. Why do you think they call a screened solid a tint? It's because screening allows the white paper to show through and mix with the color to make it lighter.
