Will my digital printing design look just like it does on the computer screen?

--- The printed image will appear fairly close to the image on your computer screen. However,

computer screens and personal printer resolutions are different. Keep in mind computer

monitors also can vary greatly due to 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.
