How to calibrate my monitor? what does it mean?

Question

i heard to work wth colors for printing, the monitor should be calibrated, what does it mean, how can i calibrate my monitor?

Answer 1

if its new it will do it its self unless the prints are way off in color you are fine

Answer 2

Well, yeah, if your monitor isn't calibrated (as in fixed to ensure that the way it's going to print looks exactly the same as your monitor) then the photo will come out to be c**p, even though it looked great on your monitor.

Search up on Google about what settings would work with your specific monitor.

Answer 3

Color of the files, color on your monitor and color on your printer will vary greatly.....if not calibrated.....

You can use a calibrator...but they are expensive...
