RE: [colorvision_group] Re: Questions about measuring targets

2007-04-25 by Gene Lugo

I just redid everything and paid extra attention to media settings, and found the results much closer to the screen view, and instead of a red cast I now have a gentler warmer tone, and a little extra contrast and saturation, all within the adjustment capabilities of the PFP sliders. I will do the same again but waiting a little longer, and see what happens. Thanks for the info.

Just a note which may help. I have the i9100 also and have profiled
both the old Epson Colorlife paper and the Ilford Classic Pearl.

I found two things. One is to measure with a blank paper beneath the
test paper and the other is to wait, wait, wait. I let the test page
dry/stabilize for a week before I measured and I wait hours before I
judge test images.

I printed the same image a week apart and was astonished at the
difference in color cast. In a couple of hours the new one was closer
to the original. Within a day or two, they were the same.

Oh, don't forget to adjust to optical brighteners if the paper has it.
