How to calibrate your screen for print.
Recently I had major battles with calibrating my screen to produce near print colour. New designers often neglect to calibrate their screens and many don't even know what it means.
Well, let's explain. To calibrate your screen means to tweak the colour, brightness and other settings of your screens and drivers to match print quality colour as close as possible.
Luckily some tech heads out there thought of some tools to make colour calibrating your monitor a breeze. You get hardware calibration tools that plugs into your PC/Mac and then matches colours on your screen with a little device that you put on your screen.
First though, try out these following links to try and calibrate your monitor online (just through proper colour/gamma & brightness/contrast matching).
