WE CANNOT EMPHASIZE ENOUGH HOW
DIFFERENT THE COLORS THAT WE ARE TRYING TO SHOW,
AND WHAT YOU ARE SEEING, MAY BE. WE HAVE 5 COMPUTERS, AND 10 MONITORS, AND NO
TWO OF THEM ARE THE SAME. BESIDES THE USUAL ADJUSTMENTS ON THE FRONT OF THE
MONITOR,
OUR ADVANCED VIDEO CARDS HAVE A HUGE RANGE OF ADJUSTMENT AND COLOR TWEAKING.
WE
SEND ACTUAL COLOR SAMPLES AFTER RECEIVING A DEPOSIT.
THIS CHART IS THE ONLY WAY TO
COORDINATE MONITORS FOR A PERFECT MATCH.
YOU NEED TO HAVE ACCESS TO AN ACTUAL COPY OF THIS TO BE CERTAIN OF ACCURACY.
THESE COLOR CHECKER CHARTS ARE USED BY GRAPHIC DESIGNERS, PHOTOGRAPHERS, AND
TELEVISION STATIONS TO GUARANTEE ACCURATE COLOR.

How to use the Macbeth ColorChecker chart.
The chart provides you with an easy way to recognize
and evaluate the many factors that can affect color reproduction.
To evaluate the effect of varying any given factor, you
simply compare the chart's color image - photograph, television
picture, computer monitor display or printed sample - with the actual
Color Checker. This comparison may be made visually or through
measurements of optical density. (The Color Checker is
proportioned so that when its image fills the frame of a 35mm camera, the
images of the individual color squares are large enough to measure with a
densitometer.)
