Digital BW, The Print

Larry, somehow I missed that you're using a CRT with your laptop! IMHO
you'll NEVER get the CRT to match your laptop LCD, no matter how good the
CRT is. 

 

A CRT is usually not as sharp, especially when reading text, as an LCD, and
LCD's often are overly bright and high on contrast. When I profile both my
Apple and EIZO LCD's I force the brightness down quite a bit, otherwise my
prints were always way off - always to light if I remember correctly:-)

 

Good luck, Alan

thanks Alan

the one thing I am really noticing is the difference between laptop 
LCD screen and the viewsonic CRT,, the laptop has much more contrast 
and sharpness.. Also, I wear glasses at the computer and I'm trying 
to get both screens at the same distance + I'm using a separate 
keyboard / mouse.
It's funny how one gets used to their "old" setup... and change takes 
a while to get used to.....

thanks again
Larry
PS... a G5 would be a good fix and just use the laptop in the field.
