Subject: [QuadtoneRIP] Re: Prints too dark from QTR, what next?
Question: what would be the difference between adjusting the monitor and adjusting a LUT in the driver? Isn't that really what adjusting the monitor is doing?
No, I'm not suggesting that you set your QTR-generated ICC for the monitor. There is a long reason why not not. Simplest just to say no. What we are saying is that on a monitor like an Eizo Coloredge or NEC Colorsync, where the calibration is directly adjusting the monitor itself, you can adjust the monitor to closely match the properties of the paper in question - brightness, contrast, white-point. There's still the issue that the monitor is back-lit and the paper is front-lit, but you can get fairly close.
