Digital BW, The Print

Hello Ross,

I have a NEC 97F and use the Pantone Colorvision Spyder. Rather than 
selecting any particular color temperature, I indicate that my 
monitor does not have color temp options, and then use the 
individual RGB guns to adjust. I have managed to get them to match 
each other with .000 difference, but it took a lot of fiddling with 
the adjustments. I am delighted with the results though. I do black 
and white and was surprised how important that the color guns were 
matching each other so there was no color cast anywhere in the image 
on the monitor. I got the Spyder off eBay from a camera store that 
had had a demonstration of them and Photoshop with digital cameras. 
They resold them afte the classes and still made money and I got it 
a little cheaper than from the retail stores.

Your friend in Photography,

Johnny Eades
