Printing – Soft Proofing

Request

I would like to see how colors will print before actually printing an image.

Response

You can use the Soft Proof feature in Capture NX to predict and check how colors will

appear when printed from your computer monitor.

Before

Image display before Soft Proof.

After

You can see how colors will print by enabling

the Soft Proof feature.

Monitor calibration

To take full advantage of the Soft Proof feature, you must first calibrate (adjust settings so that

colors are correctly displayed) your computer monitor. If the monitor is not properly calibrated,

colors will not be correctly displayed.
