From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:



  CMYK
       
           cyan, magenta, yellow, key.
       
          A {colour model} that describes each {colour} in terms of the
          quantity of each secondary colour (cyan, magenta, yellow), and
          "key" (black) it contains.  The CMYK system is used for
          printing.  For mixing of pigments, it is better to use the
          secondary colours, since they mix subtractively instead of
          additively.  The secondary colours of light are cyan, magenta
          and yellow, which correspond to the primary colours of pigment
          (blue, red and yellow). In addition, although black could be
          obtained by mixing these three in equal proportions, in
          four-colour printing it always has its own ink.  This gives
          the CMYK model.  The K stands for "Key' or 'blacK,' so as not
          to cause confusion with the B in {RGB}.
       
          Alternative colour models are {RGB} and {HSB}.
