Adobe PDF vs. Microsoft XPS
GDI is also restricted to transmitting data in RGB, which is a huge problem when printing directly or saving to PDF files. GDI does not support the CMYK space used on many color devices and offset presses. In addition, it does not support single black colorant used on monochrome devices, and it doesn’t allow spot colors (used in professional printing), device-independent colors (e.g., those based on ICC color profiles) or hi-fi and photo-ink device color spaces (used in many ink-jet devices).
