Should the PDF on my screen look the same as the printed product?

It should look close but not exact. All monitors are displayed in RGB and our printing process is CMYK, so some variation will naturally appear. We calibrate our monitors and printers to a 'Coated FOGRA 39’ profile this enables us to achieve a close match to our ripped print-ready PDF proof.

Please be aware, PDF proof colours can vary significantly if being viewed on a smart phone.
