In the case of a printer, it is not possible to change the intensity of toner colors.
Because of this, a much larger number of dots are used compared to a computer
display, and various colors are reproduced by adding K (black) to the C (cyan), M
(magenta) and Y (yellow). This means that higher resolution color prints are
possible the smaller these dots are.
About Color Printing
A color printer expresses the shape and color of images in groups of minute C
(Cyan), M (Magenta), Y (Yellow), and K (Black) dots.
Therefore, image data input to the printer is divided into cyan, magenta, yellow, and
black.

The data is reproduced separately by each toner cartridge, and the toner is
transferred one after another.
