Additive (RGB) color Color devices that use the additive color model create a range of colors by combining varying amounts of red, green - Kyocera TASKalfa 3051ci | Printing System (11),(12),(13),(14) Color Reference G - Page 65
, and transparencies. While the additive color model simulates the visible spectrum of color by adding light of three primary hues, the subtractive color model starts with a "white" or neutral light source containing light of many wavelengths.

While a 72-ppi raster image appears sharp on a monitor, the same image would likely appear pixelated when printed to the Color Server.
