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.

printer.
Both devices use very different technologies to represent color.
