Whites and Color Accuracy

Why don't the whites in the example look the same as the pure white Web background? That's actually ideal. Art paper comes in a great variety of whites, some warmer and some cooler. And white paints, pastels and pencils aren't all the same shade of white either. I don't correct so every white looks the same as a pure Web background. I correct so the whites and colors in the digital archive are faithful to your original, even if the white in the original is off, and that's the point of archiving -- authenticity.

Also, screens display colors differently, which is just a fact of the industry. So don't expect all devices to display a faithful reproduction of the digital file. The best way to know you're seeing a faithful reproduction is to first make sure I'm doing the archiving and, second, you would need a calibrated monitor. And to reproduce it in print you'd need a professional lab.
