To adequately deal with all of the problems inherent in matching color output to color on screen, we
recommend flexibility.  Keep lighting as close to white as possible.  Choose a video card that can
adjust colors through software drivers and save those changes into files that can be recalled, a monitor
that can change colors through hardware adjustment and save those mode changes and software that
can account for hardware GAMMA correction and dynamic image GAMMA correction.

Now that this has been addressed, are you ready for scanners?
