Digital BW, The Print

Hi Barry-

It sounds like there are more issues here than monitor calibration. You are
about to start a large, very expensive project. IMHO, you need someone fully
qualified to manage many different aspects of the project- monitor
calibration, while important, is certainly not the most important, nor the
most difficult, issue to address.

The decision makers need to pay for this management; if they are unwilling,
it will definitely end up being a case of ³Pay me now, or pay me later².  Or
worse, they will spend lots of money, and not get value.

My 2¢...

Regards,

Bill Morse
