Okay ... is everything good? -
For use with your X-Rite?
-
Ok, interesting. Let me know how it goes.
-
I don't know, sorry. White LED seems most likely, but RGB LED is also possible.
-
@MelissaZeith?
-
How did you go?
-
@SarahLandry?
-
@Alessia?

Essentially, it's a laptop. And gosh yes, turn off the ambient light thing. And yes, keep it fairly dark when calibrating. I mean, it doesn't need to be pitch black or anything, just dim.

Spyder Pro Reminder

Did you resolve this, @SteveG? -
prints warmer than screen

Tara? -
It's not ideal, that's for sure, but it's the best available to you, I'm afraid.
-
Yep. Remember, you need to make your screen match those pro lab prints as closely as possible. It doesn't matter if you hate the prints, you still have to match them.
-
Oh, sorry. When you said "almost the same" I thought you meant the screen was almost the same as the prints. Ok. Does your Spyder4Elite have "SpyderTune" like the Spyder5Elite does?
-
Excellent. Then that's the one you edit on.
-
Right. And what about comparison to the Macbook?
-
Forget about the printer for now. We just need to concentrate on the monitor first. How does it compare to the pro lab prints?
-
You can't use those prints for monitor verification. You MUST use pro lab prints for that. Do you have any on hand?
-
Ok, first of all let's fix the most serious problem. https://www.damiensymonds.net/art_tscs000.html

No, they don't need to be physically connected. I'm sorry, what you're aiming for is almost impossible. It's very difficult even with good screens, but with POS Mac screens it's a bridge too far, I'm afraid. I don't have instructions for the S4E, but the S5E ones won't be miles different. Have you tried following them? https://www.damiensymonds.net/cal_S5Elite_mac1.html

Well, generally it's caused by poor maintenance of the printer.
-
Your files are perfect, I promise. This is not your problem. You can legitimately demand reprints.
-
No, actually send them to me please. Via the link I gave.
-
Hi Monique, do you mind sending me the exact print files that you sent to the lab, so I can take a close look at them?
