Choosing the right monitors for a
color management system
The importance of color management
In today’s digital production environment, there
are many opportunities for discrepancies in color to
arise along the path from the computer to the printer.
This is because input devices (cameras, scanners, etc.),
display devices (monitors) and output devices (various
kinds of printers) may all be set to different color
spaces. Such discrepancies can be avoided by employing a color
management system that ensures every device in the production
chain is set to a common color space.
Color management begins with
the monitor
The monitor is the core of any professional color
management system. If color is displayed accurately on
the monitor, and color matching has been done with
the output device, then you no longer have to make
multiple proofs just to correct for color discrepancies.
You can proof with confi dence right from the start,
while lowering costs, increasing effi ciency and
improving quality control.
