Re: 24" iMac Display with Spyder 3 Pro

2009-01-31 by martinschwartz72

I recently purchased the  Spyder 3 Pro also to calibrate my 24"Apple
monitor an the profile I generated made all the prints I produced with
it darker then the image on the screen. I realize that the monitor is
backlit and there will be a difference especially with matte paper. But
I was getting better results when I used the calibration software that
comes with OS 10 and the iMac. The prints were almost deadon. What's
going on with this calibrator?   I think I  wasted my money.
