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 (vari-
ous 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 man-
agement 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 mul-
tiple proofs just to correct for color discrepancies. You
can proof with confidence right from the start, while
lowering costs, increasing efficiency and improving
quality control.
