Having trouble calibrating correctly

[Danelle]

Ok. Calibrating at 6500 now.

The brightness is set to zero but the measured white luminance is at 226. See attached screenshot

I dont have options to adjust colors in my monitors settings. Under the color settings the Red Green Blue options are not selectable. I can only adjust the temperature. Should I adjust brightness thru the AMD Graphic Card control center?

They will be, somehow.  Your job is to figure out how.  Try turning Gamma off, for starters.  Then look for other settings that might free them up.

Much closer now. I got to adjust the colors all to 50 by selecting User Defined. I was able to get the brightness correct at exactly 100. Attached are the results. Still a little high on the white point. Also noticed the color line chart Isn't starting at zero. Any suggestions?

Ok, now tell me about the print comparison.

[Danelle]

Prints are close, maybe a touch warmer which I haven't liked. They tend to print with a bit more red in skin tones.  Is the graph OK and settings OK even though it is over 6500?

[Damien Symonds]

Are you saying the screen is cooler than the prints?

[Danelle]

Yes a little. I wasn't sure if it was ok to be over 7000 and the graph not starting at 0?

Ok, so follow the troubleshooting part of the instructions.
