Monitor colors vs. printer colors

(Differences between the range of colors a monitor or printer can
reproduce)
Neither a printer nor a monitor can reproduce the full range of colors
seen by the human eye. Each device is limited to a certain range of
colors.
>
A printer cannot reproduce all of the colors displayed on a
monitor.
>
A monitor cannot reproduce all of the colors printed by a
printer.
Both devices use very different technologies to represent color.
>
A monitor uses Red, Green and Blue (RGB) phosphors (or
LCDs).
>
A printer uses Cyan, Yellow, Magenta and Black (CMYK) toner
or ink.
Very vivid colors (such as intense reds and blues) can be displayed
on a monitor. These same colors cannot be easily produced on any
printer using toner or ink.
There are certain colors (for example, some yellows), that can be
printed, but cannot be displayed accurately on a monitor.
These differences between monitor colors and printer colors are the
main reasons why printed colors do not always match the colors
displayed on screen.

Monitor settings

The brightness and contrast controls on your monitor can change
how your document looks on-screen.
Your monitor color temperature also influences how "warm" or "cool"
the colors look.
Several of the color matching options make reference to your
monitor's color temperature.
Many monitors allow you to adjust the color temperature through
their control panels.
