Color

Obviously everyone wants good color to make their projects look stunning. That's one of our primary goals at Claffey Printing, because anyone can simply take your images and print them as is, but we take extra efforts to make sure that you get high quality color in your image reproduction.

One issue that comes up quite frequently, is the difference between RGB and CMYK. If you're unfamiliar with these terms, please refer to our Glossary of Terms in the column to the left. It will help to explain to you the difference, but in a sense everything that runs through the printing process goes throgh as CMYK.

Another issue is that what you see on your monitor screen isn't always the way that it will appear on your printed piece. Everyone's cameras' settings can be set differently, their monitors can be adjusted differenly, everyone's eye's can see the image differently and lighting in the office can certainly affect the way things are viewed.

Color Correcting

As you can see with the example below, many images will need to be adjusted to improve the contrast and color. This can come from any number of things, but we make sure to take these problems into account when preparing your job, and take the necessary steps to fix the problem.

If your unsure how the images that appear on your monitor screen will look on paper and the end of the printing process, have no fear. We have specialists on staff that's sole responsibility is to make sure that your images have been color corrected and will literally "pop" of the page.
