monitor calibration

Recommended Posts

Supposed to be about the best, consumer grade, monitor calibration system, on the market. That's what most of the 'pro' photogs use, from what I gather.

I ordered one yesterday. Been having issues with print vinyl being way different than my monitor hopefully this helps.

best way would be to get your printer to print a color chart from their printer  = I have one on the wall and print a new one every time I change heads etc so colors will be right - it is the only way to get a close match.  I don't care what colors are on the monitor they can shift when printed.  your monitor uses rgb to make the colors and the printer uses cmyk - IMHO

Got a color chart on the way already but trying to cover as many bases as I can. Im replacing $80 worth of vinyl because of it being way off from my monitor but I never had an issue before this.

heck the only way i can match is with the color chart - some colors are more off than others but again it is a different type of color mixing with the light from the monitor and the pigments in the ink

I use one but I bought it for photo editing. Made a huge difference.

 

If you really want a good set up you need to start with a good monitor.
