Four-color printing (CMYK)
A printing press uses four ink colors: cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK). The
process is often called four-color printing. CMYK data files are typically used by and
originate from graphic arts (printing and publishing) environments.
CMYK Ink Set Emulation (PS only)
The MFP's color rendering of CMYK can be made to emulate several standard offset press
ink sets.
● Default. This selection is good for general-purpose rendering of CMYK data. It is
designed to render photographs well, while at the same time providing rich, saturated
colors for text and graphics.
● SWOP. This is a common ink standard in the U.S. and other countries/regions.
● Euroscale. This is a common ink standard in Europe and other countries/regions.
● DIC (Dainippon Ink and Chemical). This is a common ink standard in Japan and other
countries/regions.
● Device. Emulation is turned off in this selection. In order to render photographs
correctly with this selection, images require color management in the program or
operating system.
