Test print image black and white6/14/2023 To avoid even slight blurring when reproducing text (or other finely detailed outlines) using three inks would require impractically accurate registration. Text is typically printed in black and includes fine detail (such as serifs).The K in CMYK represents the keyline or black plate, also sometimes called the key plate. In some cases a black keyline was used when it served as both a color indicator and an outline to be printed in black because usually the black plate contained the keyline. In traditional preparation of color separations, a red keyline on the black line art marked the outline of solid or tint color areas.Common reasons for using black ink include: However, the imperfect black generated by mixing commercially practical cyan, magenta, and yellow inks is unsatisfactory, so four-color printing uses black ink in addition to the subtractive primaries. The CMYK color model is based on the CMY color model, which omits the black ink. Inspection CMYK colors of offset printing on a paper To save cost on ink, and to produce deeper black tones, unsaturated and dark colors are produced by using black ink instead of the combination of cyan, magenta, and yellow. In the CMYK model, it is the opposite: white is the natural color of the paper or other background, black results from a full combination of colored inks. In additive color models, such as RGB, white is the "additive" combination of all primary colored lights, black is the absence of light. White light minus red leaves cyan, white light minus green leaves magenta, and white light minus blue leaves yellow. Such a model is called subtractive because inks "subtract" the colors red, green and blue from white light. The ink reduces the light that would otherwise be reflected. The CMYK model works by partially or entirely masking colors on a lighter, usually white, background. The abbreviation CMYK refers to the four ink plates used: cyan, magenta, yellow, and key (black). The CMYK color model (also known as process color, or four color) is a subtractive color model, based on the CMY color model, used in color printing, and is also used to describe the printing process itself. What appears as cerulean ( ) in the top image is actually a blend of cyan, magenta, yellow and black, as magnification under a microscope demonstrates.
