RE: [colorvision_group] Re: Monitor colortemp vs Print viewing temp?

I proof 13 X 19" prints (HP B9180 & 8750) and I have two lights, the other
one is a European design Solux that I use as a desk lamp as well.  If you
want to go wider then I would suggest that you build a track light array.  I
just looked at the Solux site and noted that they sell the components to
allow you to build a track system to your own spec.  If you have a very high
ceiling, you might want to take a look at their dual wall mount light setup.
I imagine you could have a series of wall mount lights.  You also might
consider which of the 4700K bulbs you want because they come in different
angles of coverage. My bulbs are 36deg. Since both my lamps are articulated
I can raise or lower to get the desired coverage. Their web page is
solux.net.

Regards,

DavidL

Our "proofing wall" will probably need to be about 2ft by 3ft to 
accomodate a couple of large prints at a time for comparison.

How large a print are you able to proof with your single 50w light?
