matching prints to screen

2006-08-08 by Keith Cooper

Hi

I get quite a lot of people write to me, asking questions about the PF PRO after I wrote a 
review and article about it earlier this year.

Of course this group is one place I refer them for expert help :-) but there seems to be a 
persistent query as to why when you calibrate your monitor and profile your printer 
everything does not instantly look identical on paper and screen.

I put together a brief guide to some of the factors that affect the matching (lighting, vision 
etc) -- it has links to good articles (IMHO) I've found that illustrate different points.

hope it's of use/interest
