CMYK (Digital Imaging)

Printers' primary colors, Cyan Magenta, Yellow and Black.


CMYK (Digital Photography)

Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black. The four colors in the inksets of many photo-quality printers. Some printers use six ink colors to achieve smoother, more photographic prints. The two additional colors are often lighter shades of cyan and magenta.


CMYK (Graphics, Color and Calibration)

The process printing colors. Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black.


CMYK (Multimedia)

This is a color space primarily used in color printing. CMYK is an acronym for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and blacK. The CMYK color space is subtractive, meaning that cyan, magenta, yellow and black pigments or inks are applied to a white surface to remove color information from the white surface to create the final color. The reason black is used is because even if a printer could print hues of cyan, magenta, and yellow inks perfectly enough to make black (which it can't for large areas), it would be too expensive since colored inks cost more than black inks. So, when black is used, instead of putting down a lot of CMY, they just use black.


CMYK (Newspaper Design)

An acronym for cyan, magenta, yellow and black - the four ink colors used in color printing.


CMYK (Photography)

Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black; These are the printer colours used to create colour prints. Most Colour Printers, Ink-Jet, Laser, Dye-Sublimation, Thermal, and Crayon printers use these as their printer colours. (This is one of the colour management problems for computers. Converting RGB files to CMYK files causes colour shifts.) When used by a printer the CMYK is also known as a reflective colour since it is printed on paper, or reflective films


CMYK (Printers)

The Cyan Magenta Yellow Black model is for standards in color inkjet printing. These are the four basic process colors used in conventional color printing. Overlaying or dithering combinations of these four inks in different proportions can create a vast range of colors.
