About color printing
Color models
Video technology (computer monitors, scanners, and television screens) sees color as transparent light and uses an RGB model to display colors. To display color appropriately on video technology, captured images are broken down into pixels (picture elements) that are projected as rays of red, green, and blue light.
Printers see color as reflective light, which reacts much differently on hard copy printed images and bounces off nontransparent surfaces. Colors are translated into combinations of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, using a CMYK color model, to get true colors.
