CMYK Color Separations (-cmyk)

By default, MATLAB produces color output based on red, green, blue (RGB) color values. If you plan to publish MATLAB figures using four-color separations, you may want to use cyan, magenta, yellow, black (CMYK) color values rather than RGB.

The -cmyk option automatically converts RGB values to CMYK values. This option applies only to the PostScript and Encapsulated PostScript drivers. When you print the figure, the PostScript interpreter that renders the file must include the CMYK Extension Set. This set is available on all color Level 1 PostScript printers, most newer black and white Level 1 PostScript printers, and all Level 2 PostScript printers.
