[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 631857, member: 2960"] This is likely due to two things. One, you need to calibrate your display. You can do this by going into "Displays" in your System Preferences. It will walk you through it, step by step. Two, glossy screens (like the ones on iMacs now) oversaturate colors. What you see on the screen is not what you will see when you print. Calibration will help this, but even with proper calibration, glossy screens still oversaturate and muddle colors. Glossy screens may look good for games, movies/videos... but if you are doing any sort of graphics work that isn't intended to be broadcast on a monitor (in other words, printed), then your colors will not be 100% accurate. I would recommend getting an external/additional display and make sure it has a matte screen. That way, once you calibrate that display you can use it when you do any sort of work that needs to be printed. [/QUOTE]
