RE: [Digital BW] Calibrated monitor/Dark prints

2005-11-07 by Tony Riley

A 'pedigreee' test image is one which is known to be numerically corect and
should display well on a calibrated monitor and print well thru a correctly
profiled printer path. The inage usually consists of a number of
elements..gray scale, flesh tones, memory colour objects etc so that it is
easy to make a simple assessment as to whether it 'looks good' or not.
Bear in mind that we do not directly match the monitor to the print, but
rather profile the monitor and printer so that they both accurately portray
the content of the file.
