| The accuracy of colors
Design experts would know that colors may appear differently
from one screen to the next. So it would not be shocking for
those who knew when they see their prints turning out not the
same as the one they have been seeing so perfectly on screen. it
is said that what you see on the monitor is being converted to a
different “color space”. That is why the colors are not the same
when it is already in print because it has undergone color
spaces while printing. One of the technical explanations for
these is that the monitor sees images with the use of RGB
(that’s Red, Green and Blue) colors, while most printing
companies use CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black) and the
Pantone Matching system. There goes your culprit. Try comparing
the printed result from the one on screen. See any relation? Not
even distant relatives.
The colors you wish to see on print changes in the process of
printing due to the colors that are dominant on the screen that
varies from that on the printers. Getting the result you wanted
would mean a lot of color testing and even some knowledge on
colors.
The printing industry is continuously spending money, and time,
in trying to make a calibrated monitor. The WYSIWP
(what-you-see-is-what-you-print), as they say. This is solved by
adjusting the monitor to be able to reproduce what they think
would come in the print result and on paper. One variable that
is also needed is the inks that will be used. It would take a
lot of combinations to be able to get the right colors on paper
to match the screen colors. And of course, the ink quality plays
a major role, as not all are of the same texture and do not
produce exactly the same colors.
This is one of the problems that designers come across in color
printing. Clients that come to these printing companies want
only the best from them and it is to see the colors on designs
as they see them in front of the screen. . With the appearance
of many colored printers, color printing is constantly given a
more advanced perspective. They print colors as close as they
can make it as the one in the monitor.
Experts are endlessly studying colors to be able to come up with
solutions to this color crisis. Some are somewhat successful
although not perfectly so. Printing colors does not come cheaply
so the trials and errors will have to cost to be made. All these
to make colors accurate.
