Introduction

The problem – Does your print match what you see on your monitor?

Page 4: Monaco Systems 100 Burtt Rd. Andover, MA 01810 978-749-9944 .

What is Color Management? Technology that enables you to predict

the color of your digital image.

Technology that maximizes the color range (Gamut) of all your devices such as digital cameras, monitors and printers.

Without it: You are shooting in the dark.
