Re: [Digital BW] D50 or D65 calibration prints & screen calibration?

2006-08-31 by joaskild

Thank you for you answeres,

I did now calibrate the screen to D50 and the result was very yellow. My screen has a max 
lightnes of 75 on D50 wich I was told is too littel as it should be minimum 85-90 to be 
abel to make a good calibration. I was rekomented to calibrate to 5800 kelvei (middel of 
D50 and D65) and now the max lignes was 85 and it looks like were right. So to calibrate 
to D50 my screen it to old! (4 years Diamond Pro 920). I am calibrated to screen to the 
Lstar gamma. The same as the prints. Clearly this screen calibration is not the problem 
with the sligly darker prints compered to the screen. Next steep I think is to try to 
calibrate the paper profiles to D50 and see if there is a diffence. Any other sugstions?

All my profiles are identical in color and darknes for diffent papers they are only sligtly too 
dark!

I show my prints in Galleryes with something near daylight or warmer.

I use dark point compensation in Photoshop. The printer is epson 9800. 

Thanks 

Joakim
