inchiostro per tinta piatta
Explanation:
gli inchiostri per tinte piatte sono inchiostri particolari in aggiunta ai 4 inchiostri quadricromia di base (ciano, magenta, giallo, nero).
Le tinte piatte possono essere appositamente incluse nei file di stampa per la stampa ad esempio del logo con un colore Pantone particolare, ma è anche possibile che vengano introdotte per errore.
Se nei file inviati in stampa dei colori sono stati erroneamente specificati come tinte piatte (spot colors), verrebbero stampati su lastre aggiuntive. È quindi utili convertire eventuali tinte piatte inavvertitamente presenti nel file in colori quadricromia.

Explanation:
Forse si potrebbe tradurre così. In Internet ho trovato questa spiegazione per spot color:

spot color
A color that is printed from one printing plate which contains one matched color of ink. Spot colors are used when only one or two solid colors are needed on a page or when a color has to match perfectly and be consistent such as with a company logo or when colors are the trademark of the organization or message. For example, you can be sure that IBM's "Big Blue" color is a carefully chosen spot color mix that the company is quite particular about! If spot color is used along with process color, then a four-color print job becomes a five or six-color job.
