A note about viewing images on computers.

The point is that every image on the web will look somewhat different on different computers because of differences in hardware, software and settings. Characteristics such as lightness, saturation, sharpness and contrast are likely to vary on different machines even if the machines are of the same model.

Why is this important, now? Two reasons. First because we have invited you to look at our work and it's important for you understand that the appearance of the work will vary on different computers. You can be absolutely confident that we are experienced photographic printers and graphic designers with very high standards and any work we do for you will be of very high quality.

The second reason is that if you want to see things the way they really are you are not limited to what your computer is currently showing you. If you do a search for monitor calibration you will see products from Monaco, Color Vision and others that quickly and affordably calibrate your computers video output to give you the most accurate images possible.

Calibrating your video output is like tuning up your car. If your car needed the tune up you will notice a large improvement and if your car was fine in the first place you will notice a small improvement. Most monitors are not fine. Further, if your car is a Cavalier, tuning it up will not make it perform like a Corvette so you should have reasonable expectations.

For most people the basic models of monitor calibration kits are fine. We do not recommend buying a more sophisticated model unless you have a specific reason.
