Best commercial printer for printing bright colors?

Trying to print something with a lot of color, and unfortunately, the ink isn't matching what's on the monitor. Is there a business (Fed Ex, Office Depot, etc. with a printer capable of printing a full color range? Thanks..

Do you have a specific Pantone color you are looking for? The Pantone may not match your monitor. Have you spoken with a professional print shop?

I am thinking your monitor is not accurately displaying the color.

There are limits to what standard CYMK inks can produce. The way your monitor displays color is not the same way color is reproduced using inks. I suggest you seek a commercial printer. There are ways to get a wider gamut of color but it will take a pro to make it happen. I've worked in the printing business for 30 years. Explain in more detail what you are trying to reproduce and I would be happy to help.

Most monitors do not properly display color..did you create the piece ? if so in what program?
if you did, in the color dialog box, you should see the proper PMS or the CMYK composition. (if CMYK) ... same for RGB
depending on the size of the piece and what it is..make sure you are at 300dpi minimum or above...at 600+ for a vibrant s
the better the file, the better the print...
MOST of the printing services have pretty good printers.

Bright green and bright pink are best reproduced as solid colors using spot color (Pantone inks). Bright colors are difficult to reproduce on a digital printer.
