You should read the ICC information about "rendering intent", which is
how you control the handling of differences in gamut.  The most
obvious difference will be for "fluorescent" colors, which a CRT can
display but CMY&K inks can't produce.  See
http://dx.sheridan.com/advisor/cmyk_color.html for a basic description
of the problem.
