Color Management Systems Color printers and computer display screens produce color differently. Printers use the subtractive primaries CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black), and produce color when light is reflected off the paper. Computers use the additive primaries RGB (red, green, blue) with a light-emitting CRT screen. The printer and the computer screen each have a different range (or gamut) of possible colors they can produce, with some overlap between them. Software application packages specify color in different ways, for example as CMYK or RGB, or they may give you a choice. Get to know your applications so you can work more effectively. There are a variety of methods available offering a finer degree of control over color. The TekColor color corrections, selectable from drivers, the printer's front panel, and downloadable utility files, provide the easiest method of adjusting printed colors.
