User seeks advice on how to avoid discrepancies in color between digital designs and printed outputs, suggesting a need for better tools or processes.
Hi everyone! I’m an amateur designer working on a basic Asus laptop. My biggest issue is the massive gap between my final design and the actual print; the printed version always comes out much darker and the colors look nothing like what I see on my screen. What advice can you give me to avoid these "dark" surprises? Should I invest in a professional monitor, a Pantone color bridge, or is it more about learning color profiles (CMYK vs. RGB)? I’m pretty lost, so any hardware or workflow tips would be amazing. Thanks!
