QL-800 Overview44 QL-800 User GuideColor cannot be perfectly consistent because the human eye can see more colors thancomputer displays can show or printers can print. What’s more, the ranges of colors availableto displays and printers don’t completely overlap.Profiles help out when these ranges don’t match; they help translate the differences to createthe widest and most accurate range of colors a device can display.Display ProfilingThere are devices that can help you develop profiles for your display to ensure that what yousee is close to what you are getting. Using QL-800 profiles will help with consistency in printing,while using both QL-800 and display profiles will help with the full design and printing process.If color matching is important to you, you may consider profiling your computer display.QuickLabel QL-800 Color ProfilesWhen printing, even the type of material printed on can change the way colors appear.QuickLabel has created color profiles for the materials you will be using in order to offer you themost accurate color reproduction possible.A Profile for Each DeviceThe more of your devices that have profiles, the better. Since color is based on technology,software, and the laws of physics, each device works with color differently.In addition to your graphics program and the QL-800, you may be able to add profiles for yourdisplay, your digital camera, and your scanner. This will help all of these devices use color in acoordinated way. At minimum, to use color profiling, you need to use a color profile for theQL-800.
