Images on screen look different from the same image in print. Calibrating your monitor provides a screen display that simulates what you would see on paper.
The simplest calibration methods involve adjustments to the Contrast and Brightness settings of your monitor. An intermediate method uses special software to calibrate your monitor as well as calibrate your printer, scanner, and other devices so that what you see on-screen, what you scan, and what you print all look the same - as much as is possible. For high-end use, even more precise hardware-based calibration methods exist.
