Choosing the right monitors for a

color management system

The importance of color management

In today’s digital production environ ment, there
are many opportunities for di screpancies in color to
arise along the path from the computer to t he printer.
This is because input device s (cameras, scanners, e tc.),
display devices (monitors) and output device s (various
kinds of printers) may all be set to dif ferent color
spaces. Such discrepancie s can be avoided by employing a color
management system that ensu res every device in the produc tion
chain is set to a common color space.

Color management begins with

the monitor

The monitor is the core of any professional c olor
management system. If color is d isplayed accurately on
the monitor, and color matching has been don e with
the output device, then you no longer have to make
multiple proofs just to correct for color disc repancies.
You can proof with confi dence right from the start,
while lowering costs, increa sing effi ciency and
improving quality control.
