FAQ about color printing

What is RGB color?

RGB color is a method of describing colors by indicating the amount of red, green, or blue used to produce

a certain color. Red, green, and blue light can be added in various amounts to produce a large range of colors

observed in nature. Computer screens, scanners, and digital cameras use this method to display colors.

What is CMYK color?

CMYK color is a method of describing colors by indicating the amount of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black

used to reproduce a particular color. Cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks or toners can be printed in various

amounts to produce a large range of colors observed in nature. Printing presses, inkjet printers, and color

laser printers create colors in this manner.

How is color speciﬁed in a document to be printed?

Software programs are used to specify and modify the document color using RGB or CMYK color

combinations. For more information, see the software program Help topics.

How does the printer know what color to print?

When printing a document, information describing the type and color of each object is sent to the printer and

is passed through color conversion tables. Color is translated into the appropriate amounts of cyan, magenta,

yellow, and black toner used to produce the color you want. The object information determines the application

of color conversion tables. For example, it is possible to apply one type of color conversion table to text while

applying a diﬀerent color conversion table to photographic images.
