Re: Light source for evaluating prints?

David, while these preferred color temps are on the warm end, they do 
not appear to be a holdover as you suggest. The linked studies are very 
interesting in that they tested viewers in a carefully controlled 
environment (eyes preconditioned, luminosity kept constant, etc.). When 
you have a few minutes take a look at the studies, they're very 
interesting.
