Re: Dark prints from epson 7600 and 4880

2009-06-02 by malodiver@aol.com

Thanks for input. Some of this is probably just getting use to the major  
change in brightness of the Apple Cinema LCD. Beautiful for most things but 
not  the best for matching print media. I am using Windows which means my 
only  monitor control is the one brightness button on the monitor. My prior CRT 
had  great fine tuning capability and my OS color control was unimportant. 
I continue  to tweak my workspace environment and twiddle with the 
calibration  luminosity and white point settings. A price I must pay to move into new 
monitor  turf. I have taken my monitor calibration for granted for a long 
time now and  suddenly Im a newbie running test calibration prints and 
changing my printer  profiles. I may think about Spyder 3, if it is more usable 
with the LCD  environment. I would recommend staying away from the Apple 
Cinema monitors for  photo editing and find one with more fine tuning 
capabilities, especially if  using a Windows system. PS: Vista color control sucks, I 
went back to XP as it  wont kick out the calibration, every time a security 
warning comes up.
