Git commit 3a63868acf452a81163e9c12791ecc54548234a0 by Wolthera van Hövell tot \
Westerflier. Committed on 08/06/2018 at 20:10.
Pushed by woltherav into branch 'draft'.
Spelling, Grammar and Style fixes guided by LanguageTool.
I didn't follow it dumbly, but there were a lot of sections where
there were missing capitals, spellos and even old mediawiki syntax
lying around.

following solution: do your work within the CMYK color model! But there are three \
problems with that:
* Painting in a CMYK space doesn't guarantee that the colors will be the same on \
your printer. For each combination of Ink, Paper and Printing device, the resulting \
gamut of colors you can use is different. Which means that each of these could have a \
different profile associated with them.
* Furthermore, even if you have the profile and are working in the exact color space \
that your printer can output, the CMYK color space is very irregular, meaning that \
the color maths isn't as nice as in other spaces. Blending modes are different in \
CMYK as well.
* Finally, working in that specific CMYK space means that the image is stuck to that \
space. If you are preparing your work for different a CMYK profile, due the paper, \
printer or ink being different, you might have a bigger gamut with more bright colors \
that you would like to take advantage of.
