Is anyone else constantly adjusting customers' artwork so it will print blue. If you've delt with this, you'll know what I'm talking about.

Maybe you can design a little sample that you can show to them, that explains, very simply, a little about the differences in color modes. You can include color swatches/samples to illustrate the idea of the differences of print color vs. screen display. This is something you could reuse with different clients, that way you won't find yourself explaining the same concept repeatedly, which can be so frustrating I know!!

First you need to make sure that the customer understands that what they see on screen is no what they will get, ever. Second, stop trusting your eyes and start to rely on your numbers. Your info pallet is you best friend in this situation. Use your curves pallet in Photoshop to adjust the color values, and again, go by the numbers. If you are working in vector, the same general rules apply, use you color mixer to replace colors. Also, make sure that your output device is calibrated to no more than 2% off at all times. The quantity you are outputting, will determine the frequency of your calibration. Lastly, calibrate that monitor!

i do it in my way.
A) change the artwork color in computer and ajust it close to your output, that means u need to adjust the number higher...
e.g c 30 m 60......
yes, it is not correct, just show it to your client.
after he confirm on all stuff, use your orginal file and do output.
easy.....right? no more explain................and save time
