Color capabilities of the color reproduction devices
Color monitors use the additive color system (RGB), and color printers use the subtractive color system
(CMYK) to create a range of colors. Because these color reproduction devices use different color
systems, some colors that can be displayed on a color monitor cannot be reproduced exactly by the
print device. However, using the color matching system (ICM or ColorSync) enables more accurate
representation of the original color by assigning the best color possible.
