mrsjangles Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Hi Damien I have noticed after my last calibration that my Magentas are highly saturated on screen then in my prints. Everything else is perfect, it is just that I am seeing more Magentas on screen then what is being printed. I use the Color Munki Display and have calibrated a few times now using different options. I started with Naitive, setting display luminance at 100 before trying the other options at D55 & 65. The results I am seeing is a warmer or cooler screen but the result is the same with saturation. Is that normal, I haven't noticed it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I can see magenta (pink) areas in the 2nd and 3rd photos, but what are the problem areas in the 1st and 4th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsjangles Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 Yes It is more in the 2nd and 3rd you really see it. The second photo when printed, the pink tog strap is very suttle. In the third photo, the print shows very minimal magenta in the sky, as well as the sand and skin. The other 2, I can see more magenta in the skin tones of the girl and also in the flare, but it is not a concern and the print looks good. I posted all photos that i was viewing to give you an idea what i have been comparing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Ok, it sounds like there are two separate issues here, and the fact that they both involve magenta is a simple but unfortunate coincidence. The first thing you must do is obtain a soft-proofing profile from your lab and try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsjangles Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 Yes, i did do that. When i turn the gummut on, those magentas are showing they are outsode the printable range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 No no no, never worry about the gamut warning. Use the profile properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Yep, those settings are perfect. So you're toggling Ctrl Y to turn the profile off and on, and you don't see any change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsjangles Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 toggling makes it easier to see...doesn't it? I see a very slight difference, but nothing like the print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Ok, thanks. Yeah, that's what I found when I tried proofing your photo with my lab's profile as well. Ok, so that means that there IS a problem with your calibration. Is anything new in your equation? I mean, how long have you had the calibrator, and how long have you had your computer, and how long have you been calibrating the latter with the former?

mrsjangles Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 Old calibrator, in fact I don't think they make the colormunki display calibrator anymore, the computer is new, but didn't replace the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Hmmm ... then the problem must be the new graphics card in the new computer, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsjangles Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 would that be because the colormunki calibrator being older technology? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I find that very hard to believe. It's not THAT old. Are you sure you've got all the settings correct on this screen? https://www.damiensymonds.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/cm02-1.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsjangles Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 Bugger, I just selected another calibration that I saved yesterday, and now it will not let me go back to the old one, is there a trick?. Maybe I recalibrate and see the results today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
