• Your monitor may not have been calibrated recently. A monitor's color rendition varies from one another and any one monitor's output will change with time. This can be overcome by measuring the color put out by your monitor with a colroimeter when a specific signal is sent to it. This data is used to produce a "profile" which will adjust the output of your monitor to accurately display the colors sent. I calibrate my monitor prior to working on my digital files and a profile specific to my printer is used in the printing process.
• Monitors are generally set to display colors as if in bright shade outdoors but you may be looking at the print under incandescent, halogen or fluourescent light. Technically, monitors are set to 6500 Kelvin, while indoor lighting ranges from 2900 - 3500 Kelvin. In my print viewing room, I use 6500 Kelvin light bulbs so that I can compare what I see on my screen and what I see in the print and the match is extremely good.
• The color of the surroundings may reflect their tones onto the viewed print. My print viewing room is painted white to reduce this effect when I view my prints.
• Most monitors are set to an artificially bright value. In addition, the image displayed on the monitor is generated by transmitted light (as if the image were backlit), but the print image is formed by reflected light.

Despite these differences, I believe that you will be pleased with the color in the print, even though it may not match what you see on your monitor. Furthermore, I guarantee your satisfaction - if you don't like the print, ship it back to me in undamaged condition and I will refund the print cost or apply it to a different print!
