So you believe there are colours you can see in reality that are never shown on your screen?   Funny how I've never observed a photo on my screen that's missing a colour.

If what you're saying is true, no printer can produce what you see on the screen, so this nonsense you're spouting about calibrated colour systems still won't work, as even pantone isn't as big as RGB.

I've printed it and it's identical to the screen, but to be fair the example you've given me is shit - just look at what colours are inside the CMYK area - completely lacking and much more limited than any printer, even cheap crap.  There's virtually no green for a start.  Imagine a photo with some grassy fields, it certainly comes out bright green on a printer, but according to that image, there isn't much green available to CMYK.
