using an RGB (red, green, blue) color process, but printers print colors using a CMYK (cyan, magenta,
yellow, and black) process.
Several factors can influence the ability to match printed colors to those on a monitor. These factors
include:
Paper
Printer colorants (inks or toners for example)
Printing process (inkjet, press, or laser technology for example)
Overhead lighting
Personal differences in perception of color
Software programs
Print drivers
Computer operating system
Monitors and monitor settings
Video cards and drivers
Operating environment (humidity for example)
