Spot Color printing is the most common form of high-volume commercial printing, due to advantages in quality and efficiency in high-volume jobs. The more you print, the less you pay per page, because most of the price goes into the preparation undergone before the first sheet of paper is printed and ready for distribution. Any additional paper print will only increase the paper price (and ink), which is very minimal. While modern digital presses are getting closer to the cost/benefit of offset for high-quality work, they have not yet been able to compete with the sheer volume of product that an offset press can produce.

The picture above shows the Pantone Matching System, also referred to as PMS colors. Each color is mixed in advance and applied on the press to produce 1, 2 or 3 color printed products. If you can count 4 or more colors on a printed sample, it would be better to use Full Color Process.
