I have just realised my input source for my screen is via DP, not HDMI. Am I best to change this over to HDMI, or is DP ok? My screen is DELL U2419H

Thanks Damien

They have said 900mm x 600mm

No I don't, I'm wondering if I should look up standard sizing. I will see if I can check with the printing company over the weekend what size they have.

Or am I ok with how it is?

No its not. Sorry to explain. I have been asked to make a flyer for the above event, for printing flyers, for fb add's & also to go on a road side sign using corflute (forsale sign board). To be honest I have no idea how to size this, but I know I am using a landscape photo to fit in it as above.

Yes, I placed all the images in separately. When I made the initial file I made it a size in inches to see what size I need to work with the photo. I know this isn't correct, do I use pixels to make the correct size & what size do I use. I'm a real newby in this size stuff. and I will sign up for the trainingprepress class.

Hi Damien, I'm making a flyer in photoshop to be printed normal A4 size, but will also be printed as a sign like a house forsale sign. How would I size this? I started by making a new black document & added in piece by piece after that.

Hi Damien, Maybe not the right group to ask this, but wondering you knew how to do the cartoon bobble head, or even the correct term for it so I can look for a tutorial?

I had a chat with our electrician & he was quite interested in my yellow problem. He came & checked the lights in our office & turned out he had accidently put 4k lights instead of 6k. They have now been swapped out today & much happier with the match. Pays to check!

I have re-calibrated at the lowest & I believe it is the closest match.

Yes, my screen is much colder than my prints. When I calibrate my screen at 5000 the screen was a closer match to my prints than up at the other end ie 6500, this confused me because I thought it should get better the higher it goes.

the weird thing is it is closer. Should I re-calibrate at the highest & see what that does? I am home today so can sit in front of computer & fix

Ok, sorry the warmest preset for my screen is 10000k, I have attached the picture. I thought you meant the warmest number I got when we did the grid numbers, picture also attached. Yes, I do have the same screen which is some years older.

The warmest was 7837. My first calibration I used 6500 & the difference in colour was worse than it is now. I recalibrated last night before I popped the question up, thinking I would need to lift the it higher to achieve a better match & that seemed to make the difference worse. At the moment it is calibrated at 5000 & it is better, but still not a match.

If I'm honest I didn't take a screen shot from saved profile yesterday. Should I re-calibrate now & take one so you can see?

Yes, I followed these instructions. These ones I didn't have the white balance sheet to use for the correct white balance & are in with the test shots. In print they are all so much yellower than my screen.

That is you meant a comparison of them side by side?

Yes, is off my iphone ok, no filter?

Dell Ultrasharp U2419H The electrician has said we can change them to 4K, but I feel they would be too cold. Looking at the prints in daylight without the screen present they do still look warm.

If I keep using Queensberry do I still send the files in sRGB? It shouldn't be, we put in 6k daylight bulbs in our office

I have calibrated my desktop with i1 Display Pro & my prints are too warm to my computer, brightness & colour seem fine. I have re-calibrated a couple of times adjusting the colour temp, but still no real match. I checked out of curiosity last night which colour space my lab requires & it is Adobe RGB, I am using Queensberry so very reputable lab here in NZ. Obviously my files have been sent in sRGB, to fix this do I find a new lab or re-print some test prints in Adobe RGB?
