Note:
In theory, pure cyan, magenta, and yellow should produce black, but
actually they produce a muddy brown and must be combined with black
ink to produce a true black (K).
A cathode-ray tube (CRT) monitor produces images by
illuminating color phosphors on the screen with an electron gun.
(A phosphor is a substance that gives off light when irradiated.)
Each screen point (pixel) has three colored phosphors: red (R),
green (G), and blue (B).
Since the Stylus Scan and monitor produce color images
differently, and the available range of color produced by the
monitor and Stylus Scan are different, the image on the screen
does not exactly match your printed output all of the time. If you
want to adjust, or calibrate, the printed color to more closely
match the on-screen color, you may have to experiment with the
printer driver settings.
Additionally, color management software is available from a
variety of software and monitor companies to help you match
colors produced by your monitor and Stylus Scan. See your
image-editing software documentation for information on color
matching.
