Where to print color accurate posters?

    Hey everyone,

    I'm based in Dublin, and I'd like to print some illustrations. I've tried many times in a professional printing machine I have at work, but the colors are not even close to what I see on the screen. They are so different that a simple grass green is printing almost black.

    So I'm looking for a place where I can print these properly with some color accuracy. Does anyone know where I'd be able to do this?

    I'm based in Dublin.

    Thanks!

    maybe pop into gunns and get some small prints done on their machine first before going large?

    Are you working in RGB and printing in CMYK?
    What is the machine normally used for in work?

    Have you calibrated the colour on your screen, as someone else said you need to output your colours correctly for printing…
