The CMYK system (subtractive color) uses Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. Mixing the three primaries trends toward a muddy brown; printers add black to deepen tones. Subtractive mixes get darker because each ink absorbs components of light.

Print presses commonly run four plates for CMYK. Some jobs add spot colors for hues that are hard to build with CMYK alone.

Many computer printers use CMYK with separate ink tanks and heads.
