Printing: Essential Troubleshooting for Colour Problems

Believe it or not, there can be huge differences in how various hardware devices respond to colour (colour gamuts). For example, the red you see on an old CRT monitor will be a different red to that seen on a modern LCD screen; there will even be differences in colour between LCD monitors made by various manufacturers. If youve got a scanner or digital camera, then these will also have their own individual colour ranges. If you use different devices to capture images, then it wont be too long before you see variations in colour. For example, if youve printed out your photographs in the past and have been disappointed by not being able to reproduce what you see on-screen, then theres a good chance that colour management hasnt been employed. This article will show you how to implement colour management to produce consistent results, and how to solve common print problems should they arise.
