Cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK) are the inks that a printing press uses in four-color printing.
Graphic arts (printing and publishing) environments typically use CMYK data files to provide rich,
saturated colors for text and graphics. The printer uses the PS printer driver to accept CMYK colors.

press ink sets:

Match colors
The process of matching printer output color to your computer screen is complex, because printers and
computer monitors use different methods of producing color. Monitors display colors by using light pixels
that use an RGB (red, green, blue) color process, but printers print colors by using a CMYK (cyan,
magenta, yellow, and black) process.
Several factors can influence your ability to match printed colors to those on your monitor:
●Print media
●Printer colorants (inks or toners, for...
