What is a 4-Colour Process ?

The four-colour process refers to the four colours used in printing.

These are not the primary colours you learnt in school:

: cyan (C)
: magenta (M)
: yellow (Y)
: black (K)

You may also hear this system referred to as the CMYK system, where each letter stands for a different colour - K is used to represent black to prevent confusion with brown and blue.
