| Quick question about Wii U covers |
| << < (2/3) > >> |
| IWHBYD:
Thanks for the responses, I'm using Red River Semi Gloss paper and the paper looks fantastic, it's the best paper I've used. The cover on its own looks great, it just doesn't quite match up color wise with the first few Wii U games I grabbed to compare. Of course not all retail Wii U cover art matches up perfectly either there is some variance in the blue color at the top, the cover I printed just jumps out a little more. http://i.imgur.com/qdrnvTe.jpg http://i.imgur.com/5y0qhv5.jpg |

A small increase to the cyan would fix that. If you're using Photoshop it's an easy enough adjustment from the selective colors. But it really is tricky to match colors from what you see on something, then to a monitor and then to being printed out. Have you tried comparing the factory covers to what you're seeing on the monitor side by side with what printed? You should be able to use that comparison to get the cyan pretty close. |

I decided to get a new printer, I went with a Pixma Pro 100 and the results are fantastic. The colors are perfect without trying to tweak the covers in GIMP or any printer settings. |
