What is CMYK Printing?

CMYK printing is actually short for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, and pronounced as separate letters. CMYK 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 in the printing industry. Because such printing uses inks of these four basic colors, it is often called four-color printing.
