For that, you +can just get a professional industry-printed color chart, like Pantone, and +a digital version, and try to print that and compare. Missing Pantone, you +can try with the Macbeth Color Chart: + +<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_chart">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_chart</A> +<A HREF="http://www.ae5d.com/macbeth.html">http://www.ae5d.com/macbeth.html</A> +<A HREF="http://www.babelcolor.com/main_level/ColorChecker.htm">http://www.babelcolor.com/main_level/ColorChecker.htm</A> + +or just google for it. But to compare you need one you don't have printed +yourself. + +And once your printer is calibrated, start working with your monitor and +your scanner... + +Color calibration is not an easy subject. I have not checked Linux nowadays, +but in the past Macs were the best for color calibrated works. + +Theoretically, if you set your profiles for your printer and monitor from +a database (if you are lucky and your models are there), you should automagically +see what you print, and even get the same printings on two printers with +different profiles. + +-- +J.A.
