My colors are way off when I try and calibrate with Spyder2Pro2.2-4.
Though I recently had some questions regarding getting the correct
white luminance, these have been nicely resolved in this group, and my
colors were never a problem, always a very good match. My problem now
is when I calibrate, my colors are way off.
Way off from what?
I am using XP on a PC. I
have been using a Samsung 214T monitor and just switched to a Dell 2407
WFP and am having the same problems with both monitors.
No real definition of your problem here...
Gamma 2.2 and White Point 5800 have always worked nicely for me with a
White Luminance colorimeter value of about 125.
What has changed, if this worked before?
When I use these
settings, or even if I try a White Point of 6500, the monitor colors
compared to my standard test prints are kind of "orange". Not really
warmer, but "richer". I have tried White Luminance values ranging from
100 to 150 and that doesn't fix it either.
Too many variables here, including printing methods, and your image.
Any suggestions? Never had problems with my colors before after
calibrating.
Then what has changed recently?
Any way to check the accuracy of my Spyder?
Thats probably the least likely component, though the one people naturally want to blame first...
