Print colour separation?
Answer:
You get better colour reproduction from CMYK than RGB.
Even Jesus hate you.
It allows for wider variety of colours to be achived and seriously more combinations. RGB is pretty basic
RGB can simply apply to projected light, but when it comes to ink, you own to mix CMY&K to make colours. You can print from RGB on a home printer, but the printer converts it to CMYK.
CMYK is a cheaper picking for Ink colors and has be the standard practice for years. RGB is the colors you view on screen, such as televisions or computer moniters. They are 2 totally different ways of color paperwork. CMYK produces less colors than RGB.
Tuila is correct.
CMYK is for printing a charge on a printing press, unless its spot colors (1 or 2 colors, usually PMS colors - PMS = Pantone Matching System), but thats another story.
RGB is for looking at it on your desktop monitor, and printing on the $40 inkjet printer on your desktop.
It is virtually impossible to get the 2 to meeting exactly.
RGB has a wider color spectrum, blues are bluer, reds are redder, etc. But they cover respectively other up when printed on top of respectively other, and produce a kinda of muddy dirty brown. Where as CMYK inks are (for lack of a better word) transparent, and the blend together, pale and cyan make green, etc.
We catch customers who design jobs for their company contained by Powerpoint (which is RGB, and a VERY POOR choice for doing design work), then print it out on their $40 desktop inkjet, and afterwards when we convert it to 4 color process (CMYK) to print on our $1.5 million dollar printing press, they complain because "it doesnt match my copy!" Its not going to!
Basically, RGB, and CMYK are 2 entirely different animals.
CMYK is for printing, and RGB is for looking at!
