A cyan stamp for those who support the color cyan!
Cyan is also one of the common inks used in four-color printing, along with magenta, yellow, and black; this set of colors is referred to as CMYK. While both the additive secondary and the subtractive primary are called cyan, they can be substantially different from one another. Cyan printing ink can be more saturated or less saturated than the RGB secondary cyan, depending on what RGB color space and ink are considered.
Pretty much. Maybe some computer screens with 98 or 99% color gamut can, but it'd have to be a pretty special screen.
Most of it has to do with the nature of print vs screen. Screens give off light while prints reflect light. A screen just cannot reproduce that particular shade of cyan as it appears on paper. Color ePaper maybe a different story, though, since it's reflective LCD technology.... Either way, another little tidbit, did you know that no consumer/professional color printer can reproduce the exact color green on US currency?
Really? I didn't know that. But it makes sense that the exact shade isn't possible to prevent counterfeiting. It's nice to learn little trivia like that, thank you for sharing.
