[CREATE] What is a tint?

[Olivier BERTEN]

This is a question for the printing professionals in the list.


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")?
