Monitor Calibration

  
     
 

Achive accurate color on your screen using these tools

By Jon Canfield

  
     
   
     
  If you’ve ever been frustrated with prints that don’t match what you see on your monitor, you understand the importance of color management. Having a calibrated monitor allows you to make changes to an image with confidence because the colors displayed on the screen are an accurate reflection of the file. In addition, it helps ensure that the color values you see on the screen will closely match your output.

The first step in a color-managed workflow is to calibrate your monitor. While there are software solutions such as Apple’s Color Calibrator Assistant and Adobe Gamma, these simplistic methods rely on your eyes and judgment—meaning the results will be a compromise.

Several options are available that remove the human factor and deliver highly accurate results that will improve your workflow and reduce the amount of time it takes to get that good print. These packages range in price from less than $100 to more than $1,500.
