Stands for 4 colors on the front of a page and 1
color on the back. When 4 is used, mostly it refers to CMYK colors or “full
color.” The 1 means it will be a spot color, such as a Pantone color. The
numbers can be of any number, such as 6/3, meaning 6 different spot colors on
the front and 3 on the back, but those mentioned here are the most common for
most print projects. See also 4/4, 4/K.: A print job with four color printing
on the front side and one color (usually black) on the back side
