Re: Recomendations for optimum room lighting when calibrating moniter

2007-03-19 by pjb74nz

I have set up 2 offices in 2 cities in New Zealand with silver blinds 
to keep out the external light and installed 5000 kelvin temp lights. 
That way I can work day or night without too much variations. It works 
for me and I am get fairly consistent prints. Both offices are also in 
the bottom storey of my 2 houses and the temperature is fairly constant 
since they both have concrete walls. I think that helps with any paper 
problems.
