Create a Display Color Calibration Profile for a Specific Printer
For example, if you will be printing on Walt on the 7th floor, you should create a calibration profile for that printer.
Note: The adjusting the brightness of your computer screen will affect the brightness and contrast. Calibrate with your screen at full brightness, and remember to check your colors with the screen at full brightness while working.
1. Print the Print Safe Colors image from the printer you will be using.
Be sure to print with the substrate you will be using (color copy paper, regular paper, canvas, etc.)
I-See-U-Universal-Color-Palette-b-RGB+CMYK.png2. Keep the file image on your screen to compare it to your print.
3. Go to Control Panel > Displays > Calibrate Color
4. Adjust the gamma for each color to move it towards red, green, etc.
5. Apply.
There is no saving a PC profile, so to switch between print and web profiles follow these steps:
1. Take a screen shot of where your sliders.
2. Save this screenshot with the printer name and the date.
Calder 10/12/15
3. Restore default settings to return to the web profile.
4. When working with print, open up the screenshot and adjust the settings to match.
