With soft proofing, your monitor provides an accurate prediction of printing press output

By Abhay Sharma

When choosing a display, uniformity from one side of the screen to the other is sometimes an issue, so a good software solution will take measurements from all over the screen before you start and then use that data to improve the display uniformity. The color gamut of the monitor needs to encompass most commonly used print gamuts. Images are displayed in a manner that simulates a press condition, thus the screen needs to accurately display all press colors. Usually, if you are buying a complete soft proofing solution, your monitor choice depends on the models supported by your chosen provider.
