01 – Colors, pixels, vectors
Colors are mixed in printing with cyan, magenta and yellow.
The black that results when all 3 colors are mixed to 100% is not really black.
That's why there's an extra black color. The color model is called CMYK. Nobody really knows why the K stands for black.
When we print, we usually use the 4-color CMYK model.

Light is a mixture of the primary colors red, green, and blue. White is created when you mix all three colors to 100%.
pixel
dpi = dots per inch
ppi = pixels per inch

Cut
The “bleed” is a margin area that is added to printed products to ensure that no white edges are created when the print is cut.
This is often 3 mm. The motif/print file is 3 mm larger than the finished product.
