Esko Tutorial: __link__

For years, I designed for CMYK. I thought the white was just the paper. I was a fool. Esko showed me the White Plate. It sits there, fifth in the deck, silent and omnipotent. You want the fruit on the juice carton to look wet? You print a spot white under the highlight. You want the holographic foil to shimmer like a secret? You choke the white. You want to print on a brown kraft box and make it look premium? You lay down a blanket of white so thick and opaque it feels like plaster. White is not the absence of ink. White is the foundation of God. It is the primer that tells the rest of the colors where to stand. Ignore the white plate, and your brilliant crimson will look like dried blood on a paper bag.
