Prints dont match

[Diana_Andersen]

So I changed computers and calibrated my new monitor (ASUS ML228H). I followed the instructions for the Colormunki Display, but even though I have tried several times with different color settings, my prints look a little bit more yellow than my monitor, my pinks look more like peach.

Also, I didnt have the option to set the constrast, only the brightness. 

Help please!

What was your old monitor; and did it match your prints?

[Diana_Andersen]

I used a laptop and they matched better

 

[Damien Symonds]

Using the same Munki?

[Diana_Andersen]

yes, the same and same prints. 

[Damien Symonds]

Ok, that gives us a good solid basis.

So you're saying that no matter what you do, the ASUS screen is always colder than the prints?

[Diana_Andersen]

yes, my prints seem to have more yellow

 

[Damien Symonds]

No no no!  We mustn't fall into that trap.  Your prints are what they are.  Then never change.  They are NOT yellow.

Your screen is too cold.

Is that how you've been approaching the troubleshooting?

[Diana_Andersen]

mmmm probably hahahaha..... I'll do it the other way, watching the screen and not my prints. 

[Diana_Andersen]

So, I tried again. 

This time I did try changing the color setting and that didn't work, my screen was still colder than my prints. Then I tried choosing D55 instead of Native, like you said, and that fixed it. My screen is warmer just like my prints. It looks a bit weird, but I guess I will get used to it.

Thanks for the help!

What's weird about it, exactly?

[Diana_Andersen]

its weird because is yellower than before, but I guess its normal, since it was colder before.

You do understand, though, that now that your monitor matches your prints, you can edit your files being fully confident that what you see on your screen will be a faithful representation of what will be printed, right?  So you can take that file and edit it cooler and KNOW that it won't be warmer in print.  No needing to "get used" to anything -- edit as you think appropriate and now you're finally seeing faithful colors on your screen. 

[Diana_Andersen]

yes, I understand. Thanks!
