A color gamut is a range of colors. The gamut that the human eye
can see is much larger than can be produced in a photograph.
The photograph gamut is much larger than that of an RGB
monitor. The RGB monitor gamut is larger than the CMYK gamut
of a Xerox DocuColor system press. The CMYK gamut of offset
printing is significantly less than that of a Xerox DocuColor
system. The figure below compares the color gamuts of a color
printer with the digital color press.
