Performance Copying & Printing

We suggest that your files be at least 300 dpi.

No, Computer monitors display images in RGB, meaning that the colors are made from a combination of Red, Green, and Blue plus brightness (light and dark) and projected on your monitor. Print media is mostly composed up of CMYK values, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. Therefore, your monitor will not give you a very accurate representation of what the print output will be. Color for print is produced by reflective color, meaning the color is produced by the light hitting and reflecting that color back. DO NOT rely on your computer monitor to match printed output. Since a monitor and print are very different, it is always wise to proof your project before a run, to assure color issues are taken care of before the job is completed. Large differences in printer and monitor calibration also make it very difficult to accurately match color from a monitor to print. If your print job is color sensitive, request a proof first!
