RE: [Digital BW] Re: Matching monitor and print

2008-11-25 by Eric Neilsen

Some people are better managers than others, and some just don't see well
enough under various lighting conditions to be ABLE to manage it well. We
can calibrate monitors, printers, and chose the right light but we can't
calibrate with ease the way we see or don't see.

This is a popular misconception with colour management. It is not to
give you WYSYWIG. It is to manage your colour. With a monitor and a
printer WYSYWIG is an impossibility. This is not to say that you can
not get a better interpretation on your monitor, but don't expect it
to be spot on, otherwise you will just be disapointed.

Thats what I always hear people who aren't getting a tight screen to print
match say; but with care selection of displays, appropriate ambient
lighting, good proofing lighting, well  mannered inks and media, and some
careful tweaking of printer profile preview functions, dead-on is certainly
possible, at least at certain phases of the moon...
