Four-Colour Process

 

The four-colour process is a method used to create full-colour printed images.

It involves the use of four primary ink colours: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (black), often abbreviated as CMYK.

These colours are printed in tiny dots, and their overlapping combinations can generate a wide range of colours.

Through this process, a single image can be broken down into these four colours and reprinted with a high level of accuracy, enabling the reproduction of colourful, vibrant graphics.
