CMYK

The CMYK color model, which stands for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, is a crucial element in the print design industry. It is a subtractive color model used in color printing, where colors are created through the combination of different proportions of these four inks. By layering these inks in varying densities, a wide spectrum of colors can be produced on a white background. The ‘K’ stands for black, added to enhance depth and contrast, ensuring a richer and more accurate reproduction of images and text. This model is essential for achieving precise color matching in printed materials, making it a fundamental aspect of professional printing processes.
