   NOTE:
   Colours the machine can print and colours you see on a monitor are different. Computer monitors can display millions of colours as RGB (Red, Green, Blue). The colour laser machine uses a 4-colour printing process of CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black). The machine uses these 4 colours to create as many colours as possible, but may not be able to reproduce the colours on your monitor.
   
   Additionally, what we see on a computer monitor is emitted light, while what we see on a printed document is reflected light. Due to this difference, we can't get a 100% accurate match. The nature of both types of light and how our eyes react, makes colour matching between them a bit of a challenge. Even LCD monitors are different from CRT monitors, as the brightness and contrast differ greatly.
   
   The paper brightness and smoothness will affect the colours you see printed on the page. The colours you see on the page may look different in natural light, soft white light, and fluorescent light.
    

   The images you printed in STEP 1 are ...	Reference RGB value
   	Red	Green	Blue
   reddish (Case A)	-8	4	4
   yellowish (Case B)	-4	-4	8
   pinkish (Case C)	-4	8	-4
   greenish (Case D)	4	-8	4
   bluish (Case E)	4	4	-8
   lightly bluish (Case F)	8	-4	-4
