Well, to resume very hard, what the sugestion mean is:
Using a well knowed image as "reference", you be able to see many "mistakes"
with your workflow.
How can you to do that? 2 ways...
- this "reference" image must be to evalute together an inkjet proof (try
to findout an good supplier) for what you want to "simulate".
- or if you sure that your monitor AND your workflow are correct (not so
common, trust me), could be the printout process of you lightjet the
guilty.
To repeat my self:
"Anyway, you must to keep in mind that the biggest diference, probally,
would
be your "calibration" procedures and stuff.
IOW, to get a good monitor and print match you would to compare your
printouts againts wellknowed "references" (targets) and try to match using
hardware and/or software to match closer enough.
Monitor "calibration" stuff will give to you only a "standard" look.
Not necessarily a closer match between display/print.
Wait for others imputs."
