- CMYK are four colors cyan, magenta, yellow and key (black).
- CMYK is a color model used in the printing process.
- It works by partially or entirely masking colors on a lighter background usually white.
- The ink reduces the light otherwise be reflected. This ink "subtract" brightness from white.
- Here black is called as key because it is the key color for the other colors to align while printing.
Half toning:
- Adding half colored dots to another half colored dots gives a solid color representation.
Screen Angle:
- Different angles of the colored dots with other colors gives the patterns.
