QL-800 Overview
44 QL-800 User Guide
Color cannot be perfectly consistent because the human eye can see more colors than
computer displays can show or printers can print. What’s more, the ranges of colors available
to displays and printers don’t completely overlap.
Profiles help out when these ranges don’t match; they help translate the differences to create
the widest and most accurate range of colors a device can display.
Display Profiling
There are devices that can help you develop profiles for your display to ensure that what you
see is close to what you are getting. Using QL-800 profiles will help with consistency in printing,
while using both QL-800 and display profiles will help with the full design and printing process.
If color matching is important to you, you may consider profiling your computer display.
QuickLabel QL-800 Color Profiles
When printing, even the type of material printed on can change the way colors appear.
QuickLabel has created color profiles for the materials you will be using in order to offer you the
most accurate color reproduction possible.
A Profile for Each Device
The more of your devices that have profiles, the better. Since color is based on technology,
software, and the laws of physics, each device works with color differently.
In addition to your graphics program and the QL-800, you may be able to add profiles for your
display, your digital camera, and your scanner. This will help all of these devices use color in a
coordinated way. At minimum, to use color profiling, you need to use a color profile for the
QL-800.
