Eachdevice is restricted to a certain range of colors. In additionto this, a printer cannot reproduce all of the colorsdisplayed on a monitor, and vice versa.> Both devices use very different technologies to representcolor. A monitor uses Red, Green and Blue (RGB)phosphors (or LCDs), a printer uses Cyan, Magenta,Yellow and Black (CMYK) toner or ink.> A monitor can display very vivid colors such as intensereds and blues and these cannot be easily produced onany printer using toner or ink. Similarly, there are certaincolors, (some yellows for example), that can be printed,but cannot be displayed accurately on a monitor. Thisdisparity between monitors and printers is often the mainreason that printed colors do not match the colorsdisplayed on screen.Viewing conditionsA print can look very different under different lighting conditions.For example, the colors in a print may look different when viewedDownloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
