Edit Ink: Yellow

Free text: [[Yellow]] is one of the [[:Category:Riso inks#Standard inks|Standard]] inks from {{brand chip|Riso}}—it is a bright process yellow, and is the most common form of yellow used in CMYK color setups. {{Ink card|Yellow}} == Characteristics == [[Yellow]] uses a clear base, and can overprint with other inks very well. As the other common yellow inks—{{ink chip|Sunflower}} {{ink chip|Light Lime}} {{ink chip|Flat Gold}} {{ink chip|Bright Olive Green}}—are very far from [[Yellow]] in hue, it operates in a unique place as far as color mixing goes (and can expand the gamut of most ink palettes). However, straight [[Yellow]] on its own is often too light to be read clearly (unless at very large sizes). Whereas most of the other inks above can be be used as legible spot colors. {{ink chip|Citron}} and {{ink chip|Fluorescent Yellow}} are rarer yellow alternatives. === Combinations === * {{ink chip|Yellow}} and {{ink chip|Black}} combine to make dull olive greens. * {{ink chip|Yellow}} and {{ink chip|Fluorescent Pink}} combine to make bright, rich oranges (warmer than {{ink chip|Fluorescent Orange}}). === Mixtures === [[Yellow]] can be mixed with a small amount of a complimentary purple (such as {{ink chip|Purple}} {{ink chip|Orchid}} {{ink chip|Violet}}) to create a darker yellow, without shifting the hue too warm/cool. {| class="wikitable" |+ Mixing formula !

For this reason <u>it is often printed last</u>. {{Ink/usage}}{{Infobox ink/product |product_line=GR/RP |product_id=S-4391 }}{{Infobox ink/product |product_line=Z-Type |product_id=S-4279 }}
