i1 Display Pro Calibration on my MacBook Air

[Michelle Zeiss]

Hi Damien,

I'm in the process of calibrating my MacBook Air using your instructions. I have included two screen shots of the results. The I'm not getting a white point reading nor a luminance reading. I've included the other screen shot just for more info. I don't want to go further with my prints until I get this straightened out. I appreciate your help. 

Thank you,

Michelle Zeiss

Hi Michelle, have you still got the program open?

[Michelle Zeiss]

I’m out right now. Shoot. WhT should I do when I get home?

[Damien Symonds]

Never mind.

How's the print comparison after calibration?

[Michelle Zeiss]

I will do it tomorrow and let you know.

[Michelle Zeiss]

I compared the prints to the monitor on my MacBook Air. I held the prints 90 degrees from the screen. The prints were darker as expected given that the screen is a light source as you say in the article. Other than that I think the color tones match pretty well.

FYI, when I calibrated,I couldn't get it to the green area. It would either be just below or a little more above the green area. I went with the lower one that was at 90. 

What do you suggest?

[Damien Symonds]

Your screen MUST MATCH YOUR PRINTS.

If your screen is too bright as you say, you have to calibrate again to a lower brightness level.

[Michelle Zeiss]

I have recalibrated and have adjusted the brightness on my screen to match the prints. Here is the reading. 

[Damien Symonds]

Great!  Are you satisfied with the match now?

[Michelle Zeiss]

Yes I am satisfied after adjusting the brightness. May I start the levels call?

[Damien Symonds]

I've emailed you.
