The task is to find different ways of creating a successful color match from original artwork to color printout.

• Target the research at different types of color matching instruments as well as several software programs that will make life easier when trying to match colors.
• Also look into the reasons why colors differ from scanner, to monitor, to printer.
• Be prepared to answer any questions from Mr. Proofworthy about the color differences in RGB, CMYK, and LAB.
• Color terminology should be included in the presentation for clarity and training purposes. When you add graphics for interest, make sure you reference the original web site.

So, the final presentation will include:

• Different types of color measuring instruments and their costs.
• Different types of color matching software and their costs.
• The differences and/or relationships between color standards.
• Why a scanned color differs from a monitor and a printer color.
• The necessary hardware requirements for any new software purchased.
• What type of color swatch books are available and their costs.
