Subject field(s)
  • Inks and Colour Reproduction (Graphic Arts)
DEF

The color model of four-color printing using cyan, magenta, yellow, and black ink.

OBS

Technically, adding equal amounts of pure cyan, magenta, and yellow should produce black. However, because of impurities in the inks, true black is difficult to create by blending the colors together. This is why black (K) ink is typically included with the three other colors.
