Step 1: Calibrate your monitor and check colors in your artwork


    Printed colors may not match the colors that were displayed on your monitor. For example, an object that looked red on-screen before may now look orange. At this point, you need to correct any color problems in your artwork. You also should verify that your monitor has been color-calibrated, as described in Producing Consistent Color.

    If your artwork is color managed, you can preview how the color will appear when reproduced on a particular output device. (See Soft-proofing colors.)
