Do any of you find it that prints dont come out the same way they appear on the screen?

I havent experienced this yet, but I have realized that they do get cropped when they are printed. Is there a way to avoid this?

I also have been told by people that prints dont always appear the same colors as the screen photos do.

If you crop your images on the computer to the dimensions of the print, at 300 dpi, then there is hardly ever any cropping (sometimes a sliver of an edge, but that's all).

As for colors, if you calibrate your monitor then your prints usually come out with the right colors. I use a Huey on my monitor and all my Mpix.com orders match great - and when I place the orders I specifically tell them NOT to color correct them.

If you're printing on your own printer, I understand that you can calibrate the printer as well, so that it and the monitor match.
