The monitor that you are working on at home may not match the Monitor that your digital imaging lab are using for professional color correction. In order for our customers to receive back good quality and accurate color corrected Prints. We will work together as a team in getting the Studio monitors to match the Lab’s monitors.

Most monitors typically include user controls for adjusting your white point .This is usually referred to in terms of temperature ( 5000°K, 6500°K, etc.) we recommend that you set you white point at 6500°K.
