I can not enter colours like 5 % C, 50 % M, 75 % and 5 % K, the number always change upon entering the fourth value such that one value is 0 %.
This is the purpose for what the fourth (black) coordinate (ink) is used: to use an additional black filter and only two of the three color filters.
Of course I do not get the colour I want.
If you get 0 % C, 48 % M, 74 % Y and 9 % K, it is (except the small rounding difference) the same color
Dear Pavel,
thank you for your response and the clarifications. It appears that the two colours mentioned are the same on the screen.
However, I would very much prefer to see the values I enter and not some recalculated values, because I would like to take over colours from other applications or colour books and swatches where the CMYK values appear in the standard way. If you have more than one colour it gets difficult to remember which colour in Inkscape corresponds to which colour in other applications.
Additionally, when I have a CMYK colour, enter a new value for Cyan and then klick into Magenta, Cyan is zeroed in the same moment - no chance to finish the new colour. It works for me only if I start from Black K and enter Yellow, Magenta and Cyan subsequently.
Perhaps other users made similar observations?
Yours sincerely
Tobias Hilbricht
