Hi guys,
Despite reading many guides regarding colour on screen and actual prints, i still do not understand what is calibration and how to get accurate prints that look the same as what i am seeing on my screen.
I have a Canon iP5000. And when i printed my pictures today, i realised that it looks very different from my screen.
I would like to know why do we need to calibrate our display ? And does calibrating our display means making the colours same as what appears when we print ?
Why do we have to calibrate our display when we have to do "on-screen proofing" or what it is called and what is it ? Can i set my printer to print what my screen is seeing ? And how do i do it ?
Does it mean that no matter how we calibrate our monitor & printer, our image will still appear different on different computers and different printers?
Hope someone can help me in all these questions. :dunno:
Thank You,
Mark
