Question

A printer wishes to print four colours, Crimson, Pink, Brown, and Indigo, using CMYK [Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key (black)] inks. The printer uses the CMYK combinations shown below (in % of each ink) to produce the colours on the right. Which combination(s) will result in the correct colour(s)?

• A.

  

• B.

  

• C.

  

• D.

  

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A, D

The task is to determine the correct CMYK combinations that will produce the desired colors: Crimson, Pink, Brown, and Indigo. Each option provides a different combination of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (black) percentages for each color. We will evaluate each option to identify the accurate combinations:

We have the following possible options:

Color	Cyan %	Magenta %	Yellow %	Black %
Crimson	0	100	100	0
Pink	0	20	0	0
Brown	0	100	100	40
Indigo	80	80	0	30

Correct CMYK combinations for:

• Crimson: (0, 100, 100, 0) - Cyan 0%, Magenta 100%, Yellow 100%, Black 0%
• Pink: (0, 20, 0, 0) - Cyan 0%, Magenta 20%, Yellow 0%, Black 0%
• Brown: (0, 100, 100, 40) - Cyan 0%, Magenta 100%, Yellow 100%, Black 40%
• Indigo: (80, 80, 0, 30) - Cyan 80%, Magenta 80%, Yellow 0%, Black 30%

The correct matches based on the combination tables given in the images are options A and D. Therefore, the valid configuration for producing these colors can only be achieved by these combinations.
