No CMYK is required. There is black and a spotcolor. Any company worth their salt alo carries a PMS (or Pantone) spotcolor. Example KLM PMS 299 see http://hanss

This means the tickets could be pre-printed with one spotcolor and have the variable info thermo-printed on that. (The design features variable info such as destination in color. That is not possible. Variable white text inside the color isn't possible as well because the color has to be pre-printed).
Nice design. With just a little tweaks it would work well, me thinks.
- jdietrich 13y agoBlack and a spot colour if you redesign the redesign. As it stands, there is text in three colours - black, an off-grey, the spot colour and white.
- digitalengineer 13y agoNot sure if you're kidding, but the Off grey is created by using a percentage of the black ink.
- arnarbi 13y agoThermal printers are not high-resolution enough to make grey text. You'd have too few dots in a letter to make them readable.
- digitalengineer 13y agoThanks, so that would make it black+spot color base and thermal for variables.
- jdietrich 13y agoNo, you don't understand printing. Thermal is strictly monochrome, it doesn't do shades of grey. The dot-matrix elements have only just enough resolution for text and are incapable of rendering legible halftone type.
- digitalengineer 13y agoI have no idea why your answer comes in above the other one that was provided hours earlier and said the same thing. Also that one did not make a negative comment ('you don't understand printing'). If you care to click on my username you'll find my blog regarding pre-press, printing and implementing ISO for graphic design and print.
