What is CMYK?
CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. The printing system is referred to as "4-colour process". These are the colours used by printers when printing anything that has more than 2 colours. Most of the spectrum can be achieved by combining them.
What is Spot / Pantone Colour (PMS)?
PMS or Pantone Colour System is an international standard for special colours. These are used when printing using 1 or 2 colours (using more colours usually becomes more expensive than the 4-colour process). The advantage of using a PMS colour is that it can be cheaper and also some special colours (like gold, silver or fluoro) that cannot be achieved with the traditional 4-colour process can be used .
What is RGB?
RGB stands for Red, Green and Blue. These are used to "display" colours in a monitor. Note: A printed image (4-colour process, CMYK) will usually look less bright compared to how it appears in a monitor.

What is a hi-resolution image?
