chromatic/regular color separation (In French composition chromatique) conventional CMYK color separation process in which all four colors are involved in the representation of each chromaticity coordinate in all tone areas, resulting in high overall total ink coverage (up to 400%) and thus drying problems; K is only used to support the dark image parts (“skeleton black”) because the chromatic printing inks provide only inadequate details when C+M+Y are printed together. chromatic/regular color separation modifications; slight and strong under color removal (UCR), possibly combined with gray component replacement (GCR).
