Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Print viewing/Solux alternatives?

2019-04-17 by Ken Carney

FWIW: I use an OttLite 5000K ("natural daylight") folding lamp next to 
my monitor ($30 at Amazon).� I will make a small print, e.g. 6x9 or 8x10 
and look at it under the lamp to see if I'm on the right track.� If so, 
I'll put the print back to dry and save the file with whatever layers I 
used for soft proofing.� If it still looks OK after a day or so, I can 
make a larger print if desired.� I understand this would be laughable 
for a pro, but it seems to give a good match under most display 
conditions.� The print, viewed with the OttLite, is an excellent match 
side by side with the monitor image (Dell graphic monitor with Colorbyte 
calibration).
