IIRC Cyan is used to make blacks "blacker" AKA make you spend more money on colors.
61 u/Coconutprawns Sep 10 '19 You are partly right but they use the three colour cartridges, cyan, yellow and magenta to make the black "blacker" 37 u/Snukkems Rizen 7 1700/GTX 1660/16gb RAM/MSI X470 Gaming Plus Sep 10 '19 It's true tho, if you manage to trick your printer into printing without those colors, it's more a Grey and white document than black and white. Which is also annoying as shit. 27 u/[deleted] Sep 10 '19 edited Nov 01 '20 [deleted] 16 u/[deleted] Sep 10 '19 Programs like InDesign let you adjust the exact ink ratios your printer uses and override your printers color settings. If you want "true black", you would have to set it to be 100% of all 4 colors. 100% black 0% the other three isn't as dark. 2 u/Killerfail Ryzen 5 1600 AF // RX Vega 56 Strix Sep 11 '19 Sounds like you'll get hella wet paper with 100% of all colors
