Likewise, what is two color printing?

In 2 color printing, two ink colors are used instead of one on lower end marketing materials, vs four on higher-end commercially printed pieces. The inks used are typically Pantone® colors, and are frequently used to print a logo, design or symbol in a unique color.

what is the CMYK value for black? If you're looking for a black color that's dark and intense, consider using a rich formula known as C 60 M 40 Y 40 K 100. The mixture referred to as rich black involves the popular CMYK colors: cyan, magenta, yellow and black. When you think about it, there's no such thing as the ultimate black ink.

Also question is, what does one color printing mean?

1 colour means you're printing one color. Black. Or a spot color like blue or red or whatever. If you wanted to do process color, and have a press with good registration and patience, you have to run the paper through in 4 passes. You don't see the result until all four passes are complete.

Does white count as a color in printing?

No. The white of the paper never counts as a color. A one-color cover is one ink-color on white paper, so unless you fill up the whole cover with that ink-it could be black or red or green or any other color-you'll have contrast.

How do printers get color?

By tweaking the values of each ink, a printer is able to produce countless colors. Inkjet printers work via subtractive color mixing. To make red, magenta and yellow inks are used, since magenta absorbs green light and yellow absorbs blue light, resulting in only red light being reflected back to our eyes.
