About CMYK
- CMYK is composed of four colors. CMYK refers to a specific printing process.
- The black ink is not a combination of the three other colors.

Halftoning
- Halftoning gives us color options. CMYK printing uses halftoning, also known as "screening".
- Halftoning allows us to choose from a wide range of printer ink colors.
- Very tiny dots of each of the primary colors are printed to produce a small pattern that humans make out as a solid color.
