Why do the printed colors look different from the colors on my screen?

The printed colors may look different from those on your screen because screens use RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color model, which is additive, while printers use CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black), a subtractive model. RGB combines light to create colors, while CMYK combines inks. Since these two models create colors differently, the results will vary. Also, the type of paper and ink used can affect how the printed color appears.
