I spent the day trying to achieve a better match between printer and
monitor. I'm using S3Elite as part of S3Studio on Vista64 with two
Dell 2408WFP monitors. I'm printing on HP Glossy Advance Photo Paper
and viewing with Solux D50 lights. Room light is measured by the S3 as
"Moderately Low."

I created a pure white image and displayed it with Lightroom and
compared it to APP under the Solux lights. I found the 6500/2.2
monitor profile to be much bluer than the paper.

I tried profiling under 5800/2.2 and 5000/2.2 and found that while not
perfect the 5K/2.2 was quite close in presenting a "white" that
matched that of the paper.

Am I doing the right thing in pursuing this sort of match before
getting crazy on monitor/printing matching?

tnx
