Method for Expressing Color
Paint is mixed on a pallet to create various colors. This cannot be done inside a
printer or on a display, therefore, color is expressed with a group of color dots.
On the display, various colors are expressed by stressing and destressing the light
of red, green, and blue dots.
The colors of toner cannot be stressed or destressed in the printer. Therefore, a
larger amount of dots are used in the printer, and colors are expressed in various
combinations by adding black to cyan, yellow, and magenta. In addition, the smaller
the dots are, colors can be printed in a higher resolution.
