They are also used when printing magazines and brochures. CMYK colors are used when printing posters or photos on paper to ensure that the colors are as close to the original as possible. These are called “base” or “primary” colors. The CMYK color process has four colors: cyan, magenta, yellow and key (black). This means that you need white paper to print in CMYK, because if you start with a colored piece of paper, then there would be no way to reduce the light and get black. The ink reduces the light that reflects off of the surface of the paper. It is a subtractive color method, meaning that it starts with white paper and adds colors to it. The reason we focus on CMYK is very simple: The CMYK color process is the most widely used color printing process in the world. We strive for excellence and aim to make color conversion understandable for everyone. This led us to develop several essential tools that we subject to highest industry standards.

We do understand that color management could get problematic sometimes.
