At FOREVER®, we strive to match print colors as closely as possible to what you see on your screen. However, differences in screen resolution, brightness, and calibration mean that prints may not always look exactly the same as what you are seeing.
FOREVER’s Print Standards
Our print shops maintain printers at ~1.9 deltaE*, ensuring consistent brightness, color accuracy, and fidelity. However, perfect color matching in an open digital environment can be challenging.
*deltaE is the difference in color between the final displayed or printed item and the original photo's input on a scale out of 100. A lower deltaE means a greater accuracy, while a higher deltaE is a significant mismatch.
If the printed product you receive looks drastically different from your screen, we first ask to check your monitor calibration. An uncalibrated monitor may falsely project colors — something you see as bright and vibrant was falsely illuminated by the monitor's backlighting, or what appears pink on your screen might actually be purple in the file sent to our print shop.
How to Calibrate Your Monitor
Please follow these steps to ensure accurate color display: 🔗How to Calibrate Your Monitor
We also suggest setting your monitor's brightness to somewhere around 35-40% as this gives a more accurate representation of the final print product without backlighting.
After calibrating it still looks off!
If you've calibrated your monitor and still notice a major discrepancy, please contact FOREVER Support with:
