Monitor problem

[Cameron]

Alright, well I recently -as in yesterday- printed off a whole bunch of my Pykiin for my own use (nothing special I just wanted to put mine up on my wall in a collage). I noticed that when I printed the pictures off, the coloring on the picture I held was completely different from the screen picture. Example: On my screen Noah is a florescent green, in the print off, he isn't so bright.

I know that I see colors more dark than others on my computer, and its apparent when I look at Solar and Yue's children because I can't see the markings on them. I have a hard time seeing few things correctly which is why I may get colors confused, or say something is green, when everyone else insists it's blue. *flails arms*

It's never really bothered me before, and I guess it doesn't really have a great effect on me, but I was wondering if anyone knew what was going on, of could maybe give me advice as to how I could fix my issue. I really hope my monitor isn't dieing (I doubt it is) but that would be the worst I could imagine.

i know there are some kind of settings, but I'm not sure how to fix it without being there

Maybe I am to blame for not making Solar have brighter colors >.>

My printer kinda does the same thing. On the screen it looks lighter but when I print it out it is one shade of from what I see on the screen. It might be your printer or maybe the screen is light so it appears it is lighter than it actually is?

All monitors are callibrated differently, and hardly any of them show actual true colors, unfortunately. In my office at work we publish books so we always have to worry about how covers, etc. look on our monitors (we can't have a book cover look sage green on our monitors but print out pea green! Yuck!)

We actually had a guy from the printing company come in and calibrate one of our monitors to be as close as possible to colors in real life. Pain in the butt, but at least we have one that shows "true" colors, or as close as can be, anyway.

I would just hold the print out next to your monitor and play with your color settings until you're satisfied. *nod*
