colour – create's printing equipment is set to commercial colour standards. some software programs can cause wild variations in colour from what is seen on screen to what prints out. prints from a commercially calibrated printer such as ours will also differ from printouts produced on low cost inkjet and laser printers. if colour is a critical issue please request a proof.
