You need to color calibrate your monitor because if you don't your prints will not look the way you thought they would when printed and what you see is not always what you get. It's very easy to calibrate your monitor and not expensive, but I do recommend you use the Spider Series of color calibration products from Datacolor Corporation. Now I use an older version of Spider, it's about 5 years old, but it still does a great job of color calibrating my monitors today. Now here's the web page for Datacolor and the various products for calibration. Now the first one here is the Spider 3 Elite. It costs about 250 dollars and is meant for very high-end monitors costing 3500 dollars and, of course, displaying the Adobe RGB color space or even Wide Gamut color spaces. These monitors are used in high-end fashion photography and pre-press applications when color must be absolutely dead on accurate all the time. Now the next version is the Spider Pro and is meant for photographers whose output is fine art prints. Now, the application is not as demanding but you still need serious color calibration for consistent output for fine art photography. Now the next one is the one that I use, it's 80 bucks and it'll do an excellent job of calibrating your monitor for family snapshots, portraits, and LCD monitors in the 150 to 500 dollar range. All these products are very, very simple to use. You just plug in the hardware, hang it over the screen, let the software run its course, and biff, boom, bam you're done. Don't give monitor calibration short shrift, especially if you print at home because you'll waste a lot of ink and paper trying to get your print to look like what you saw on the screen.
