Colour Calibration
Hello all.
How do i set up my computer to print the colour that is on screen? Ive heard of all the ICC Coluor profiles but i’m still a bit confused. Is there a peice of software that will set this all up for me?
Im using: Photoshop, Illustrator, Corel 12, Easysign, Fireworks.. exporting all the files to print on an ecojet.
I’m also wondering what is best to print a JPEG or a TIFF?
Thanks all.

Cheers for the link! I’m printing to an ecojet from Victory. Seems to be a good quality printer. The sharpness is amazing but colour matching? nightmare.

Have you got profile for the specific media / printer combination?

For appropriate color calibration, you need tools. Like ColorVision® SpectroPRO2 Suite™ or EyeOne from Gretag. If you have profiles for your printer, you need onli monitor calibrator. First of all you must make a monitor profile with monitor calibrator. Second – tune color setting in applications that you are using. Third – make printer profiles for every media that you are printing on. For Fireworks I don’t think that is possible to make colors look like printed. That is because Fireworks uses RGB web colors, not CMYK.
