How Printers Print In Color

5th Mar 2018

Printers have so many uses these days. They just aren’t for printing homework and work papers out anymore. Today you can print your own invitations and cards. Print decorations for parties, print photos that turn out looking just like a real photo, print decals, stickers, labels and you can even print on fabric. All of this printing takes quality ink for the best results.

You would be surprised to know that colored printers contain only 4 colored ink cartridges to make all those colors you see in a colored copy. These colors are called CMYK which stand for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. Which makes you think, how do just 4 colors work to bring out the beautiful color in printing? Well, these four ink colors are applied in successive layers on the paper. This process of over-lapping these ink colors in different concentrations creates a large number of other colors. It’s really amazing that out of just 4 color combinations we get such results. So as it is, these 4 CMYK colors produce what we all know as Full Color Printing or also known as Process Printing or Four Color Process?
