Improve this question. Watch an old offset litho press running up the first sheets to know the answer is "infinite". Your estimate for RGB is only because you assume values per channel -- an artificial constraint. The model does not care about byte values. Proof: there is such a thing as "bit RGB", with a much larger range. Are you asking how many colors can be specified in CMYK theoretical colors, we could call them or how many can be physically rendered as distinguishable colors?

The hard answer is: A 4 color printer can make 4 colors but it can mix an area with diferent colors a but like dithering on computer displays so how many colors it can display is dependent on the size of the raster screen. The raster screen is technically user configurable so you can adjust how many colors mixtures it can make. On a inkjet and other exotic devises thigs are different.

The question makes little sense, even. I dont need to have same setting for the whole page. Can you share an example on how a designer might adjust it as much as they want?
Bottom line: the final product we produce for you is unlikely to match the output from your inkjet — it will look more professional!
RGB refers to the primary colors of light, Red, Green and Blue, that are used in monitors, television screens, digital cameras and scanners.
These are the inks used on the press in "4-color process printing", commonly referred to as "full color printing" or "four color printing". Therefore, it is physically impossible for the printing press to exactly reproduce colors as we see them on our monitors. By doing it yourself, you have maximum control over the results. Generally, you should specify CMYK color builds that look a little lighter than you want, since the dots of ink "fatten up" on press, giving you more pigment on paper than you see on your monitor.
Be especially careful to keep backgrounds light if there is black or dark colored text over it, so that the text remains readable. Printing Knowledge Center Getting Started.
