    CMYK on a screen is:

    1) NOT the way it will look in print
    2) NOT the way it should look on a screen

    dont use cmyk for his screen. use RGB.

    RGB is meant for screen. CMYK is meant for 4 color process printing.

    If you were sending his job to get printed on a 4 color process printer, you would send the printer the cmyk file, as it has separations for the color that the printer understands and works with. If you're sending a digital file to a client to look at with their eyes on their ipad/phone/computer/etc you use RGB because that is what their device is systematically programmed to understand & output.
