Glossary
CMYKCMYK stands for cyan magenta yellow and blacK and is a color system
used in the offset printing of full-color documents. Offset uses cyan,
magenta, yellow, and black inks and is often referred to as "four-color"
printing. Monitors use red, green, and blue light instead, so they display
images using a different color system called RGB. One of the great problems of the digital
age has been matching colors between these two systems; i.e., taking a
digital RGB image and making it look the same in print using CMYK. These
problems are addressed by applications such as the Pantone Matching System (PMS).
