Will my printed product look exactly as it does on my monitor?
Not exactly — and that’s completely normal.
There are always slight differences between what you see on your screen and what gets printed. This isn’t unique to albumworks — it’s simply a natural part of the printing process.
The main reason for this is how colours are created:
Monitors use light (RGB) to display colours, which allows for a wider range and more brightness
Printed products use ink (CMYK), and the way inks blend on paper can’t replicate every colour or brightness level you see on a screen
Many monitors are also set to high brightness, which can make printed images appear darker than expected
That said, we take great care to ensure your printed result still looks fantastic. Our printers are professionally calibrated every day, and we've fine-tuned our colour settings to provide natural skin tones and rich, realistic landscapes.
Want a closer match?
If you're interested in calibrating your monitor to match our print output, we’re happy to help. We can send you a set of 8x6" printed samples along with the digital file used, so you can compare and adjust your screen settings.
To request samples, contact us and let us know your postal address — we’ll send them out as soon as possible.
