The 4 color process, also known as CMYK printing, is a method of producing full-color images using just four inks:

• Cyan (C)

• Magenta (M)

• Yellow (Y)

• Black (K)

These inks are layered in tiny dots to create the final image. By varying the concentration of each ink at each point, a wide range of colors can be reproduced—similar to how pointillism works in painting, but with microscopic ink dots.

Key points about 4 Color Process printing:

• Versatile: Ideal for reproducing photographs, illustrations, and complex graphics.

• Cost-effective: Cheaper than using individual inks for every color, especially for larger print runs.

• Limitations: While it can produce a vast range of colors, some extremely bright or neon shades may not be replicated perfectly.
