The following information is about CMYK.
CMYK Defined
This is a color space primarily used in color printing. CMYK is an acronym for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and blacK. The CMYK color space is subtractive, meaning that cyan, magenta, yellow and black pigments or inks are applied to a white surface to remove color information from the white surface to create the final color. The reason black is used is because even if a printer could print hues of cyan, magenta, and yellow inks perfectly enough to make black (which it can't for large areas), it would be too expensive since colored inks cost more than black inks. So, when black is used, instead of putting down a lot of CMY, they just use black.
This definition is in context to Multimedia. See more contextual defintions for CMYK.
