Question: Why doesn’t printer use the three primary colors: red, green and blue (RGB)? Answer: Green “Ink” absorbs Red and Blue and reflect Green light when white light (W=R+G+B) is shining on it (W-R-B=G). Similarly, W-B-G=R and W-R-G=B. If we mix Red and Green inks, all three colors will be absorbed, no light is reflected and it will appears black: R+G=(W-B-G)+(W-B-R)=w-B-G-R=W-W
