Damien Symonds Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 @cathm, talk to me about your calibration problems. In what way does your screen not match your prints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathm Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I tried bay photo and WHCC and they both came out darker than my monitor color. I use iMac and xrite to calibrate it. Thanks! cathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 That means your monitor is too bright. Are you following the calibration instructions on my site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathm Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Yes, I did! I sent you the result of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 And I deleted it. Email is not the place for these discussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathm Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Got it, I simply replied back to the email, but I guess I had to click on "Go to this post" to reply. Now, I know! I will adjust my monitor brightness after I receive the test prints that I just submit. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 Didn't you already have prints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 Have they arrived yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathm Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 (edited) I had one from one lab and I ordered the test prints, which haven't arrived yet, from another lab. Is it a bad idea to use two different labs for different products? Edited December 24, 2018 by cathm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 It certainly does add complications, but lots of people do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathm Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Hi Damien! My prints are less saturated than my monitor... How do I adjust this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 Hi Cathy, thanks for reporting in. Can you post the photos here for me to see? Upload the exact jpeg files that you sent to the lab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathm Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I will tomorrow morning when the room is brighter, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 What? No, upload the same digital files that you sent to the lab. Unless you have solar-powered internet, the brightness of your room has nothing to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathm Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Oh, I was referring to the prints that I received. Here are the files that I submitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 Oh gee, is that all you got? There's no variety there. There are a heap of colour of the spectrum that aren't represented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathm Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I also have this one You are right! I should have submitted the images with more colors!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 Is the Christmas one printed exactly the same way as the others? Same lab, same paper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathm Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Yes, same lab, same paper. This image color matches my monitor color, except for the green and black colors are slightly darker on the print. (but it's good enough and better than the newborn test prints.

Damien Symonds Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 Interesting. And are you ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY 100% sure that the overall brightness of the prints (not individual colours, overall brightness) is not significantly different from your screen?
