The CMYK model used in printing is subtractive because each ink

  • A.reduces the amount of paper that is covered
  • B.absorbs part of the light striking the paper
  • C.emits light of its own complementary colour
  • D.is added to the others to brighten the sheet

Answer: B

Correct answer: absorbs part of the light striking the paper

Ink on paper works by removing wavelengths from the light reflected back, so each ink subtracts and the more inks laid down the darker the result. A screen works the other way, adding coloured light to black - which is why the two use different primaries and why one cannot reproduce everything the other can.
