Tritone
Similar to a duotone, a tritone results from printing an image using three dif-
ferent ink colors. Both tritones above share two ink colors, but differ in their use of a
third ink color.
By using image-manipulation software, the amount of a given ink color applied to
specific tonal ranges in an image can be adjusted. In this example, the two colors used
in the duotone are distributed differently. In the top image, color 1 has been pushed
toward the shadow range; in the bottom image, color 1 has been pushed toward the
highlight range
