There are literally entire books dedicated to the art of color management, and while there is no substitute for a hardware color calibrator, here are some helpful hints and tools to get your monitor in the ballpark for accurate photographic colors. Please note, however, that due to the very nature of color management workflows, Horn Photo cannot guarantee a perfect match between your monitor's color (which is projected light) and what is printed (which is reflected light). The purpose of this guide is to help eliminate some variables.
From there, it's time to dial in your monitor's brightness and contrast to match what our lab produces on paper.
Consult your monitor's user manual or manufacturer website for instructions on how to adjust color temperature, brightness, contrast, etc.
