The printed image will appear fairly close to the image on your computer screen. Computer screen and printer resolutions are different, wherein computers use ppi (pixels per inch) to display text or images while printers utilize dpi (dots per inch) to print. Keep in mind computer monitors also backlight the image on your screen whereas printing on different materials and finishes (matte, satin, gloss, etc.) will also affect the appearance of the finished product. One additional factor will be RGB versus CMYK - all monitors utilize the RGB color gamut to display images while all printers, including your desktop printers, utilize CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and black). In Wallhogs instance we use ten color printers that utilize CMYKLCLMLKORW that include the additional colors light cyan, light magenta, light black, orange, red and white.
