The colours once pressed are not the same as the screen?

1. Different Color Models:

• Monitors (RGB):

  Screens use red, green, and blue light to create a wide range of colors. This is an additive color model, where combining colors results in brighter colors.

• Printers (CMYK):

  Printers use cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks to create colors. This is a subtractive color model, where combining inks results in darker colors. 

2. Gamut Differences:

• The range of colors a device can produce is called its gamut. RGB has a much larger gamut than CMYK, meaning it can produce more vibrant and bright colors than a printer can reproduce.
• Therefore, some colors you see on your screen, especially bright or vibrant ones, may not be achievable with standard CMYK printing. 

3. Light vs. Reflection:

• Monitors emit light, creating bright and vivid colors.
• Printed colors are viewed through reflected light. The surrounding lighting conditions influence how you perceive the printed colors.
• A print will generally appear darker than the same image on a screen because it relies on reflected light, and you can't print light itself. 

4. Other Factors:

• Monitor Calibration: Monitors can have different color settings, leading to variations in how colors are displayed. 
• Printer Calibration: Printers also need to be calibrated to ensure accurate color reproduction. 
• Paper Type: The type of paper used can affect how colors appear when printed. 
• Software and Settings: The color profiles used in design software and printer settings play a role in color matching. 
• Viewing Conditions: The ambient lighting where you view the print can affect how the colors appear.
