About Printer Tables
The printer tables included with the export module allow you to obtain the
closest possible match between an image displayed on your monitor and
a print of that image.
Additive and Subtractive Color
Displayed images and printed images have different appearances due to
the nature of the processes used to produce the colors on monitors and in
prints.
A monitor's cathode ray tube (CRT) uses an additive color process to
produce a screen image. Red, green, and blue light from the color
phosphors in the tube are added together to produce white light. Various
mixtures of the three colors produce a variety of colors. A color printer
uses a subtractive color process where ambient light passes through
layers of color dyes (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black), reflects off of a
white paper base, and passes back through the color dye layers to your
eyes. The dyes produce color by absorbing portions of the spectrum from
the light striking the surface of the print. The perceived color of a print is
also strongly influenced by the type and intensity of the light in which it
is viewed.
