cyan/magenta/yellow/black ( glossary)
Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black. The four colors in the ink wells 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 is also a pre-press color mode in Photoshop and other photo editing programs. Cyan, Magenta and Yellow are comparable to the primary colors Blue, Red and Yellow, and their complements are Red, Green and Blue, the primary colors of light, as in computer monitors. Cyan, Magenta and Yellow are subtractive, that is, combined they produce an absence of color, or black.
Acronym used to refer to the four colors used by commercial printing presses: Cyan (C), Magenta (M), Yellow (Y), and Black (K).
Refers to the four process colors-cyan, magenta, yellow and black-used in 4-color printing.
Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, K (for Black) The CMYK color scheme is a substractive color scheme where a color is substracted from white light. This scheme is commonly used for devices such as printers because printer inks can be easliy manipulated by removing some hue. By combining certain color hues, the resulting color is absorbed, and thereby prevent it from being reflected by white. Cyan (a turquoise-like, or blue-green color hue) absorbs red from white and transmits blue plus green. Cyan is derived from the Greek word kyanos, which means blue. Magenta (a pinkish color hue, also known as hot pink or fuchsia) absorbs green, so it is red plus blue. Magenta is named after the town Magenta in northwest Italy. Yellow absorbs blue, so it is red plus green Black absorbs all the above colors, but in practice it is easier to print with a separate black color rather than mixing these three colors.
Stands for yan- agenta- ellow- lack and is a color model in which all colors are described as a mixture of these four process colors. CMYK is the standard color model used in offset printing for full-color documents. Because such printing uses inks of these four basic colors, it is often called four-color printing.

yan agenta ellow lack - the four ink colours used in full-colour printing. They are also known as "process colours". dpi ots er nch. The 'dot' of dots per inch describes the smallest dot that a printer can produce. To create a half-tone effect, a printer varies the amount of ink it puts on the paper. Lots of ink makes a strong colour; a little ink leaves a lighter colour (more of the paper colour shows through). The printer does this by varying the size of the halftone dot in a half-tone grid measured in ' lpi'. A normal 'half-tone' dot is made up from a framework of these smaller 'printer' dots. So 'dpi' measures the smallest size of these 'printer' dots. We print at 2400dpi for high quality output. duotone A tonal image (such as a photograph) is changed from greyscale mode to duotone mode (which has two colour channels) in a program such as Photoshop. Each channel is assigned a spot colour. This gives the image more depth than if it were printed in a single colour as part of a spot colour print job. The file must be saved in the . eps file format.
The 4 process colors: yan, agenta, ellow, and blac. In printing, halftones of these colors reproduce the widest range of colors with the fewest inks.
For printed reproduction an image is separated into varying percentages of these four colors, which is why CMYK output is called "separations." Computer printers also use CMYK dyes and inks to produce photographic-quality prints. Compare with RGB.

Stands for "Cyan Magenta Yellow Black." These are the four basic colors used ...
COLOR MODEL used in color printing. The CMYK color model simulates a full range of color by mixing varying percentages of four primary colors: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. When these colors are printed on a page, they subtract from white light that reflects off the page, creating the illusion of color; for this reason, CMYK is a "subtractive" color model. Almost all color printing is done by using these four colors; color printing done this way is called "four-color" or PROCESS printing.
The four colors in the four-color process. The primary additive colors, red, blue and green, when added together, produce white light. When overlapped, red and blue form magenta, green and red form yellow, and green and blue form cyan. These resulting colors are subtractive and when added together, they produce a dark brown. In order to create an accurate photographic reproduction, the color black must be added.

CMYK is a scheme for combining primary pigments. The C stands for cyan (aqua), M stands for magenta (pink), Y is yellow, and K stands for black. The CMYK pigment model works like an "upside down" version of the RGB (red, green, and blue) color model. Many paint and draw programs can make use of either the RGB or the CMYK model. The RGB scheme is used mainly for computer displays, while the CMYK model is used for printed color illustrations (hard copy).

A method of representing color based on the standard printing ink colors of cyan, magenta, yellow and black. Scanners and video monitors deal in RGB (Red-Green-Blue).
Process color printing (full color). Also known as 4-color.
color model based on four process colors: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. The colors are mixed to create a full-color image on a printer. The printing press prints an image in four separate layers starting with yellow, then cyan, magenta, and black. The CMYK color model is different from the RGB model used on your computer display and digital cameras. Unlike a computer screen which emits light, ink absorbs it and the color our eyes perceive is the color that is reflected from the paper. Because the process involves absorbed instead of emitted light, CMYK is a subtractive color model (you start with white light and create colors by absorbing certain wavelengths of that light). Cyan absorbs the red component of white light, magenta absorbs green, and yellow absorbs blue. As you mix cyan, magenta, and yellow together, you will eventually get black.
A color model used when working with print-based images that describes colors as mixtures of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black ink. CMYK is contrasted to the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color model, which is used when working with images intended for electronic presentation, such as on computer monitors, televisions, and LCD screens. CMYK and RGB are also called "color spaces," because each defines it own color gamut or range of colors that it can represent. Since CMYK has a narrower color gamut than RGB (it can reproduce fewer colors accurately), it is important that images intended for print be defined as CMYK images so that what appears on the screen when editing can match the final printed output.
Abbreviation for cyan, magenta, yellow and K (black), the four process colours.
Short for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (K is used to prevent confusion with blue). Most printing presses combine inks in these four colors to give the illusion of many different shades. Some presses use six colors or more.
This term refers to the colors used when printing a color image: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and blacK. This system creates color by starting with a white surface and then subtracting color by applying the appropriate inks. There are four colors in this system because, when printing, it is cheaper and easier to apply black ink than it is to apply a combination of the other three inks to get to black. We define this term here because it is important to know that the system for specifying color for printing is different from the system used for video.

This is an alternate color scheme to the RGB color scheme. Combinations of cyan, magenta, yellow and black are used to represent colors. The CMYK scheme is used mainly in print, such as magazines. Combining cyan, magenta and yellow produces black, but that black is not always pure enough, thus, the addition of the K, for pure black. Color inkjet printers use CMYK to represent images. The best printers have separate black instead of wasting all the colors to print a faux black.
A subtractive colour model used in colour printing. This colour model is based on mixing pigments of the following colours in order to make other colours: C=cyan M=magenta Y=yellow K=key (black) CMYK works through light absorption. The colours that are seen are from the part of light that is not absorbed. In CMYK, magenta plus yellow produces red, magenta plus cyan makes blue and cyan plus yellow generates green. The mixture of ideal CMY colours is subtractive (cyan, magenta, and yellow printed together on white result in black). NOTE: MyPublisher does not recommend using the CMYK colour model for your photos as it may distort your images. Please use RGB or sRGB.

Cyan (blue), Magenta (red), Yellow, Black, the four colours used for printing
color model based on the reflective properties of light that stores color information as four color channels of cyan, magenta, yellow and black. Cyan, magenta and yellow are subtractive, or secondary, colors. As light strikes ink on paper, some colors are absorbed (subtracted) from the light while others are reflected. It is the reflected light that we see. The CMYK color model determines what we see by controlling what is removed by absorption. Compare to RGB.

Subtractive color consisting of the four process colors used in printing: cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y) and black (K). Normal blacks can be reproduced using either 100% black (which may not appear "black" enough), or a mix of approximately 62% cyan, 53% magenta, 51% yellow, and 100% black. A so-called "rich black" is created by applying 100% of each of these four colors. To arrive at other colors, certain percentages of these colors are subtracted.
A color mode made up of cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K) that produces true blacks and a wide tonal range. In the CMYK color mode, color values are expressed as percentages; therefore, a value of 100 for an ink means that it is applied at full saturation.

Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black. The four colours in the inksets of many photo-quality printers. Some printers use six ink colours to achieve smoother, more photographic prints. The two additional colours are often lighter shades of cyan and magenta.
Printers use CMYK - representing the colours cyan (a light blue), magenta (a pinkish purple), yellow, and black inks - when printing four-colour process work. These are called subtractive colours, as combining them all gives the colour black. Subtracting one or more of these colours will yield any other colour. When combined in various percentages, these four inks will create an entire spectrum of colours, including those used in colour photographs.
The four process colors, which are used by output devices such as inkjet, electrostatic and thermal transfer printers. Black is called "K" because in process printing it is the key plate or keyline color. Mixed to provide a color image; typically used in printing applications.
A color system based on the four colors used in color printing: yan, agenta, ellow and Blac. Can also be a color mode used to define colors in a digital image. All Digital cameras & scanners are RGB devices, a color method based on combinations of the primary colors ed, reen & lue this is the same as your TV and PC monitor. CMYK is primarily used when preparing digital images that will be printed using the process colors by a printer or publisher on a four color printing press.
Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key(black), being the primary colours used as the basis for 4-colour process printing. Also known as 4 colour process.
(cyan, magenta, yellow and black) Colour model based on the light-absorbing quality of ink printed on paper. Cyan, magenta, yellow and black create secondary colours when combined.
The acronym for cyan, magenta, yellow and black. These four colors are the process colors used in printing. Each of the four colors is applied to the substrate separately as it moves through the printing press.
Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black. The colors of the subtractive color system, also known as process colors.
An abbreviation for the four primary colors used in four-color process printing: cyan, magenta, yellow and black.
Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black; often called process colors; a color model used to optimize images for printing in which all colors are described as a mixture of these four colors.
The four-color screen system or process colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) commonly used in reproducing "four color images" such as color photographs and color silkscreens ( serigraphs) (Zelanski, Collins).
acronym for the four ink colors -- Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key (black) -- used in printing [ cmyk color guides
(cyan, magenta, yellow and black)- these are the colors used for full color process printing. These four inks when mixed together can reproduce a wide range of colors and shades.
An acronym for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black; the standard ink colours used in four colour printing.
Acronym for Cyan (process Blue), Magenta (process Red), Yellow and Black, the primary colours of ink used in professional printing process to which Black is added for enhancement or for true Black. Not to be confused with the primary colours of light which are Red, Green and Blue (RGB).
Cyan Magenta Yellow blacK.The four standard inks for printing.Four-color printing requires color separations for each of these standard inks.
abbreviation for yan, agenta, ellow and ey (black printer). The subtractive primaries or process colors used in color printing.
A colour model using cyan, magenta and yellow pigments as the subtractive primary colours along with black (K), used primarily in the printing process. Combining the CMY inks at full saturation renders black (subtracting all colours).
(cyan magenta yellow and blacK) A color system used in the offset printing of full-color documents. Offset uses cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks and is often referred to as "four-color" printing.
Cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. A model used to represent color in print, known as a subtractive color model. Color is reproduced by the reflection of light off of ink pigments. Although the full color spectrum can be represented just with CMY, true black cannot be produced in the printing process due to impurities in the CMY inks, so black (K) is added.
(Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Keystone black ) The standard four colours used by most printers - almost any colour can be created out of these. See also RGB.
Colours used in printing to reproduce colour photos. The colours are Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black (or Key colour).
(Cyan Yellow Magenta Black) the colors that the printing process uses to produce full color.Cast coated: Coated paper with a high gloss reflective finish.
Cyan, Magenta, yellow and Key (Black). Process colours. A colour system used by printers to combine each colour on a different printing plate to make up a full colour image. 4 colour printing. (Most giclee printers will print to an inkjet printer in RGB however, as there is better (wider) colour gamut, and scanners capture images in RGB). These are the primary colours of the halftone printing process (offset lithography).
4 color model of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black
cyan, magenta, yellow, key. A colour model that describes each colour in terms of the quantity of each secondary colour (cyan, magenta, yellow), and "key" (black) it contains. The CMYK system is used for printing. For mixing of pigments, it is better to use the secondary colours, since they mix subtractively instead of additively. The secondary colours of light are cyan, magenta and yellow, which correspond to the primary colours of pigment (blue, red and yellow). In addition, although black could be obtained by mixing these three in equal proportions, in four-colour printing it always has its own ink. This gives the CMYK model. The K stands for "Key' or 'blacK,' so as not to cause confusion with the B in RGB. Alternative colour models are RGB and HSB.
Cyan, yellow, magenta, black. The process colors used in color printing
a color specification using yan, agenta, ellow and blac. See RGB.
The inks Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black applied in FOUR COLOR PROCESS.
A color model that uses cyan, magenta, yellow, and black as its primary colors.
Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. The four so-called process colors (technically, they are "subtractive" colors) that are used in four-color printed reproduction. In desktop publishing it's one of the color models; the others being HSB, PMS and RGB.
the standard color model of cyan, magenta, yellow and black used in the 'four color' process printing. the four ink colors are layered on the final printing to combine in various ways to give the impression of full color.
CMYK is a color description scheme used in printing, and stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and blacK. Mixing various amounts of these four colors produces the other colors needed in the printing process.
Cyan/Magenta/Yellow/Black, the four ink colors used in 4-color process printing. Contrast with RGB, HSV.
A subtractive color mixing model consisting of the four process colors used in printing: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. In this color model, black is created by applying 100% of each of these four colors. To arrive at other colors, certain percentages of these colors are subtracted. Subtracting 100% of each of these four colors yields white (or the color of the paper stock).
CMYK consists of 4 main colours, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key-line (black). CMYK is a standard colour format used in the print industry. Colours are made up using varying percentages of these 4 inks. Graphic designers designing for print will usually use CMYK 4 colour process, as apposed to an RGB colour process, specifically used more for web.
CMYK is a scheme for combining primary pigments used for print. The C stands for cyan (aqua), M stands for magenta (pink), Y is yellow, and K stands for black. See RGB.
Acronym for Cyan (blue), magenta (red), yellow, black (the K stands for black). These four colours combine to produce all the colours and hues of a photograph. A graphic must first be broken down into these colour components before it can be silk-screened or sublimated onto a board. (see also sublimation)
Abbreviation for the four processing inks; cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. The four process colour inks. Their admixture on the receiving paper creates the illusion of full colour.
