Strawberry Bird and Printing of Art Work

This was inspired by collage using fabric. I find that fabric collage is very interesting and beautiful.

I wonder if any of you have problem to print art work. I have some problem that the picture printed out is not the same as what you see in the monitor.

There are tones of information as how to set this correct such as to calibrating your monitor and printer in order to get it right. Also you need to figure out how Photoshop manage the color and printing process.

The following are the summaries of what I did.

[1]. You need to calibrating your monitor well. Go to display of your computer and set properly your monitor Gamma, contrast and light values.
[2]. In Photoshop, use "Proof Setup" to pre-view your print out result in your printer. You can adjust colors accordingly if it is not what you want.
[3]. Turn off your color management in your printer. Let Photoshop control the color translating from your PC to the printer.

Hope this helps if you have similar problem.
