Factors that Affect Color Printing

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. 
These differences between monitor colors and printer colors 

are the main reasons why printed colors do not always match 

the colors displayed on screen.
