What is a tint of ABC (technically speaking)? - ink ABC printed at x% - x% ink ABC melt with (100-x)% of white ink - x% ink ABC melt with (100-x)% of transparent varnish - ??? Is it used in printing or only in paint? Subsidiary question: How do current graphic softwares deal with white ink? Which ones allow you to define a paper color/texture other than white and are able to simulate white ink (vs CMYK "white")? </body> </html>
