[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 403646"] Which colour profile are you using for your screen? Are you using Photoshop, Illustrator, Quark or InDesign as app for the printers? All these apps need to share a common colour space with the monitor so there is no confusion between what you see and what will come out of the printer's. I think it would be best if you set Adobe RGB 1998 as colour profile for your monitor and you would need to know with which colour profile the printer is working with and which type of paper the document will be printed on (coated, uncoated or newsprint). Also be aware that some colours do not transfer well from monitor to paper. Monitor uses RGB as colour space which is an Additive Colour scheme while print is CMYK which is a Substractive Colour scheme. Very big differences there in technology and how colour gets treated and reproduced. [/QUOTE]
