The Effect of Different Monitors on Remote Soft Proofing

As printing technology is developing to informatization, networking, and automation, traditional proofing methods are no longer meet the needs of the development of printing. Based on the research of the development of proofing technology at home and abroad and comprehensive analysis of the existing remote soft proofing system, we find that the high requirement to the client’s display equipment in existing remote soft proofing system leads to customers’ excessive costs when bringing in the remote soft proofing system. By means of color management to the display device, the paper studies the effect of different displays in the process of remote soft proofing and gets a good proofing result among the acceptable color tolerance when using normal display devices as the client and the color is also in the acceptable range for remote soft proofing. Experimental results show that in the use of professional display for remote soft proofing, the average color difference is less than 3 and proofs can achieve good results. When using conventional LCD display remote soft proofing, the average chromatic aberration is 5.71, and the maximum color difference is not more than 7. In the case of less demanding color printing, you can choose conventional LCD display.
