A source of constant frustration over the years has been the differences between what I see on my computer monitor and what I see in a print. They're never the same, no matter how hard I try to line up color management, ICC profiles, paper variations, and all the fiddly software controls at my disposal. But then it occurs to me that perfect synchronicity might be an unnecessary goal. After all, the two media are so different that perfect synchronicity is probably a futile objective. Besides, I am the only one who will ever make that exact comparison for my work; everybody else will either see a screen image or a print image but rarely both, and never side-by-side.
