On the other hand, the color model works by masking it on a lighter surface like substrate or paper. The ink also reduces the light that would be reflected in the design.
The color space of CMYK is mostly used for printed material. The ink is also used to display color by reflecting the light. The result is black when the spectrums from this color space overlap.
2. RGB
The color model of RGB works the opposite of CMYK. RGB intends to be an additive color spectrum.
In addition, the color model uses transmitted light so when it overlaps the results are subtractive (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow). Subtractive models usually use reflected light to display color.
Digital displays like TVs, computers, tablets, etc contain RGB color space. RGB uses transmitted light from the device to display color. So, the result is white when all spectrums from the color space overlap.
Understanding The Halftones Process in CMYK Screen Printing
A halftone is known as a group of small and large dots that have an appearance of continuous shades of color or gray in an image when viewed at a distance. It is an important technique in CMYK screen printing.
Halftone printing is a reprographic technique of separating an image into a series of dots to produce the tone and color range of a design. This process helps to reproduce tone imagery by using dots, varying in size and spacing.
Also, this process uses various line frequencies and screens to bring densities and a wider range of reproducible colors. The line screen will help to control the amount of dots and the depth of the colors.
