BIG tip!

Don't get hung up on color accuracy!!

Some stores sell both my originals and prints, so color accuracy is very important to me. The customer only knows the difference because of the price or by looking at the back of the card which tells whether it's a print or an original.

Unless you're selling your own art, color accuracy is of secondary importance.

This is not the place to get into the details of color calibration which is available with the better printers. Just remember that monitors and printers use entirely different methods of producing color, so what you print, will not be exactly what you see on the screen but it's not important. The person who receives your printable greeting card has nothing to compare it with so the actual colors are not critical.

Color vibrancy is your concern. The colors must look alive. If they don't, it's apparent to everyone, even in delicate watercolors.

The links that follow will show you how to get colors that pop.
