Factors that Affect Color Printing There are many factors that affect color printing. Some of the most important factors are: • the differences between the range of colors a monitor can reproduce versus the range of colors that a printer can reproduce. See page 181. • monitor settings. See page 182. • color settings in your software application. See page 182. • how your software application displays color. See page 183. • color settings in your printer driver. See page 183. • viewing (lighting) conditions. See page 183. • paper type. See page 184. Monitor Colors vs. Printer Colors Differences between the range of colors a monitor or printer can reproduce Neither a printer nor a monitor can reproduce the full range of colors seen by the human eye. Each device is limited to a certain range of colors. • A printer cannot reproduce all of the colors displayed on a monitor. • A monitor cannot reproduce all of the colors printed by a printer. Both devices use very different technologies to represent color. • A monitor uses Red, Green and Blue (RGB) phosphors (or LCDs). • A printer uses Cyan, Yellow, Magenta and Black (CMYK) toner or ink. Very vivid colors (such as intense reds and blues) can be displayed on a monitor. These same colors cannot be easily produced on any printer using toner or ink. There are certain colors (for example, some yellows), that can be printed, but cannot be displayed accurately on a monitor. C6150 User's Guide 181
