Digital BW, The Print

Just to add some more into the mix, I run a PC system with a iiyama 454
monitor. I use Eye-one Pro with 'Basiccolor' profiling software. I recently
changed from a Radeon 9000 AGP card to a Radeon 9200SE card, it made a huge
difference to the profile. The basiccolor software displays the 'delta E'
value (max deviation), this should approach zero for a perfect profile; with
the old AGP card I found it hard to get the value to less than 5 (you can
probably visually match to around this value), to less than 2 with the new
card. I normally run my monitor with a gamma of D65.

 

I can clearly see the step wedge at both ends.

 

BTW, The basiccolor software is available from their web site on a 14day
trial; it works with most spectro's.

 

Hope this helps

 

Jim Farrell

The monitor views SHOULD be "standardized" or rather "well managed".  File
values though will differ dependent on the workspace.  Step 90 for me is not
the same as 90 for you but L=10 (or its gray gamme 2.2 equivalent) should
display the "same" everywhere (where it is "in-gamut").  Your breakdown is
not with the monitor but with sending, without colour management, file
values to the printer.
