Re: Prints too dark from QTR, what next?

2018-11-20 by per@...

I have tried lowering the settings for my display calibration to d65 90cd/m2 (which requires me to set my monitor brightness to 5 out of 100), and viewing the image in lightroom on a white background. This improves things, but it is still not a close match (the screen is whiter than the print).

Given that I have printed a stepwedge through qtr with a confirmed linear profile, what route do I have to make sure that the screen brightness matches the print? I am using Canson Baryta Prestige paper which is very white. However, holding up the print to the screen, the print white is definitely not as bright as the screen.

Should I suspect my color profiler? I am using a colormunki display for the profiling.
