Whattup everybody, I know I don't post and participate in the conversation here much, but I check it most everyday. Some of you should know i'm a graphic designer (Interscope, The Game, C-Bo, The Regime, Dru Down, Mob Figaz, Gonzoe, Laroo, Federation, D.P.G., DJ Fingaz, DJ Backside, DJ E-Rock, DJ Warrior, $ky Balla and lots of others)

Anyway, I got a question, I feel stupid asking this but I cannot figure it out and it's killing some of my work. When I design something, the color, clarity and the brightness of it looks great on my screen, and looks fine when I email it to someone, or post it on the internet. But when the work goes to print, a lot of it is coming back HELLA DARK and the colors look shitty and not as clean. Is there a setting I need to change or something to maintain the colors, I usually submit my files as .tiffs. I should already know the answer, but I can't figure this out, anybody know what I can do???

thanks in advance

I did a poster and flyer for Interscope

I did a cover for Game and what was at the time gonna be the group Black Wallstreet, it was for a group project that Rodney Jerkins was gonna help put out

I did the cover for Frank Nitty from Tha Dogg Pound / Tha Lowlifes compilation California Connectionz

yeah i dunno, i think it may be my screen too, it's a flat screen, but it angles too, i don't think i'm lookin at it straight on no matter what angle i sit at, and that fucks up the color too

^^calibrating will fix the darkness of your screen and any color mistakes, im telling you thats your problem ask anyone that does video editing ecspecially that does color correction thats the way to fix your exported image
