# What if the colours look different after printing?

Beginner

## Quick answer

Screen display, colour profiles, paper, ink and finishing can all affect the difference between artwork and print. Compare the result with the approved proof and specification, then contact Craftarea with the file and the printed example. For a new run, agree suitable colour settings and a proof; a Pantone reference helps communicate the target but does not guarantee an exact match on every material.
