Maybe it is easy. I have never done it. For print i've worked by learning how my software and screen works with the printer i have, then handing over my work to the photolithographist if put in offset production. In pantone cases, i use black and white +/- look-a-likeish color. Client is referred to pantone and paper catalog. But most of the times it will go to a giant lazerprinter that read pdf pretty good. For digitally displayed graphics, i check with all the different devices i can. But truth is haven't been in an offset power-plant since pre 2010, and i realize much must have happened with the technology. :) I hope this discussion develops and turns into nice documentation. about it. > There is a Linux solution for monitors, that might not be as good as > cheap Windows and Mac solutions. > http://www.hughski.com/index.html is it a recomendation? It looks like a candidate for a screen calibration party. :D > While doing the Internet research I found something unintentionally > hilarious: > > https://www.pantone.com/color-of-the-year?from=topNav ha! it's funny coz it's tragic.
