CMYKväärtused

CMYKväärtused refers to the values assigned to the four process inks used in subtractive color printing: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (Black). These values, typically expressed as percentages ranging from 0% to 100%, define the proportion of each ink that will be applied to create a specific color on paper. A CMYK value of 0% for all inks would result in white (no ink), while 100% for all inks would theoretically produce black, though in practice a rich black is often achieved with a combination of CMY inks and a lower percentage of K.

Different combinations of CMYK values create a wide spectrum of colors. For instance, a vibrant red might be represented by 0% Cyan, 100% Magenta, 100% Yellow, and 0% Black. A deep blue could be 100% Cyan, 100% Magenta, 0% Yellow, and 0% Black. The specific CMYK values for a color can vary slightly depending on the printing process, the type of paper, and the intended output device, leading to the concept of color profiles. These profiles help ensure that the CMYK values translate consistently into the desired color across different printing environments. Understanding CMYKväärtused is fundamental for graphic designers, printers, and anyone involved in the print production process to achieve accurate and predictable color reproduction.
