French term or phrase: retrait sous couleurs
Hello all,
This comes from a ppt presentation on proposed graphic work for a crispbread company. Not sure about retrait sous couleurs, would reduction of under inking be right? Many thanks for any help
Néanmoins, une étape de photogravure est nécessaire pour :
Réaliser la séparation des couleurs et/ou intégrer les tons directs qui seront décidés
Gérer le retrait sous couleurs en fonction du type d’impression et de support
Réaliser les grossis maigris

Reference: retrait sous couleur

Reference information:
Maybe this helps :) I don't think that the translation you are suggesting is on the money
La fonction de retrait sous couleur permet de compenser dans une sélection l'addition des trois couleurs primaires par l'utilisation de la couleur noire seule.
Dans la technique de la sélection trichromie, un blanc, un gris, un noir sont restitués par la superposition de valeurs équilibrées des canaux cyan, magenta, et jaune. Visuellement, ces valeurs peuvent être évidemment remplacées par des valeurs proportionnelles de la seule encre noire lors de l'impression, puisque suivant la théorie de la synthèse soustractive des couleurs, la superposition des composants CMY produit un noir optique.
