In the CMYK model, it is the opposite: white is the natural color of the paper or other background, and black results from a full combination of colored inks. To save cost on ink, and to produce deeper black tones, unsaturated and dark colors are produced by using black ink instead of or in addition to combinations of cyan, magenta, and yellow.
Rich black, in printing, is an ink mixture of solid black over one or more of the other CMYK colors, [1] resulting in a darker tone than black ink alone generates in a printing process. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Rich black
In printing, registration black is a black color that includes 100% of each of the process colors used. Typically these are cyan, magenta, yellow and black , [4] but if different colors are used, registration black marks are made with all of the colorants (inks). [4] Registration black is used for printing crop marks and registration marks ...
The widespread offset-printing process is composed of the four spot colors cyan, magenta, yellow, and key commonly referred to as CMYK. More advanced processes involve the use of six spot colors ( hexachromatic process ), which add orange and green to the process (termed CMYKOG ).
CcMmYK, sometimes referred to as CMYKLcLm or CMYKcm, is a six-color printing process used in some inkjet printers optimized for photo printing. [1] It complements the more common four-color CMYK process, which uses only cyan, magenta, yellow and black, by adding light cyan and light magenta.
Offset printing is a common printing technique in which the inked image is transferred (or "offset") from a plate to a rubber blanket and then to the printing surface. When used in combination with the lithographic process, which is based on the repulsion of oil and water, the offset technique employs a flat (planographic) image carrier.
Under color removal is used in process color printing. Black ink used to add details and darkness in shadowed areas is called a skeletal black . With current [ as of? ] ink technology, the total CMYK ink in the shadows refuses to stick after it reaches the dark shadows (usually above a 250% total CMYK coverage), and begins to peel off.
In this type of industrial or commercial printing, the technique used to print full-color images, such as color photographs, is referred to as four-color-process or merely process printing. Four inks are used: three secondary colors plus black. These ink colors are cyan, magenta, yellow and key ; abbreviated as CMYK.
