CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and what does the K means?
Thanks.

K technically means the Key color, which is generally black. The word "key" simply means that the CMY screened colors are keyed in their placement to the screened dots produced by the black plate. Black, or the K plate, is always the last plate printed.

I suspect wikipedia has an article or two on it if you want more info.

Take care, Mike
