What does CMYK mean?

CMYK is an acronym for a colour model which stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key (black). 

The CMYK colour mode is used for printed materials such as our t-shirts. With the CMYK mode, there are over 16,000 colour possibilities.

During the printing process, different amounts of coloured inks are mixed to create a wide range of colours, this is known as subtractive mixing. CMYK will produce full, dark, rich and vibrant colours for your logos and designs.
