Art Leather - Color Profiles

Color Profiles

Art Leather now offers color profiles for our Print & Bind service. These profiles can be used in conjunction with a calibrated monitor* for obtaining more accurate colors in your album prints. A color profile defines a color space, or the range of colors that your monitor can display and that our printers can print.

*IMPORTANT NOTE: Your monitor must be properly calibrated for these profiles to be effective. Proofing your images with these profiles on an uncalibrated monitor could produce worse results than if you hadn't proofed them at all. We recommend calibrating your monitor with a hardware-based calibration tool before using our profiles. It is also recommended that you frequently re-calibrate your monitor to ensure consistently accurate results.
