Digital BW, The Print

Bob,

What platform are you on...mac or pc?  Do you have brightness controls on
the monitor or only in the OS?  My specific problem is when I'm trying to
get the monitor into the target luminance range (prior to profiling)...the
optical doesn't read correctly...it's binary...either showing a high
luminance or low luminance...there's no middle ground.  I've tried two
different spyder's with the same results. Anyway...I'm giving up on the
Colorvision solution.

I just bought ICS's basiCColor Display Mac  and basiCColor Display
Instrument (which is a Sequel Squid colorimeter).  These are supposed to
give performance comparable to ICS's remote director/eye-one set up which is
SWOP certified.  I'm going to try it on my ASD 17 before I take the Cinema
Display Plunge.
