Ykpettengill Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 where should i print here in the US? I know it's me, but I need my monitor to place nicely with all printers, right? In case my client goes to another printer? Because right now i wouldn't be happy with the prints or files I've sent them compared to what I'm seeing on my screen... Link to comment

You can't control how other people print, so don't even think about it. It will give you nightmares. You just need to get your own house in order. Link to comment

Ykpettengill Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 looks the closest with lumen 88, with white point to 55. Monitor is still a hair too red. would that be a white point issue or a lumen issue? Link to comment
Damien Symonds Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I need to understand what you mean by "lumen". Link to comment
Ykpettengill Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 went down to white balance 50. Still too red. Link to comment
Ykpettengill Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 is this just a f**king light bulb problem now? Eff me. Link to comment
Ykpettengill Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) also when comparing them in lightroom, should i have the background white like the screenshot? 25% grey? Black? Edited June 30, 2016 by Ykpettengill added text Link to comment
Ykpettengill Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 and what do i do when i switch labs? Do i have to recalibrate again for each lab? Link to comment
Ykpettengill Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 i did the factory reset on the monitor prior to all the calibrations. should i change these manually in order to manually match Millers? then again, what do I do with another lab? thank you so much for everything btw. sorry for having so much trouble with it. it's the dell https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SPWPF1O/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Link to comment

Ykpettengill Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Luminance meter that you suggest to be at 100? On the colormunki calibration steps? Goes from 80-120 and native as options? Link to comment
Damien Symonds Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Right ... so where were you getting 55 from? Link to comment
Ykpettengill Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Shit sorry it's the menu above the luminance. It's the white balance? I'm on my phone now but it goes from d55, d60, d65 and native? Link to comment
Damien Symonds Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 For.the.love.of.God. Have you, or have you not, followed my instructions? Not skimmed them, followed them? Every.single.word. Link to comment
Ykpettengill Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Yes. 5 times. With different levels of brightness and white levels and they print is more green and the screen more pink. Should just at this point custom my screen to the prints? Or say screw millers and calibrate per your initial instructions? Link to comment
Damien Symonds Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Is the brightness accurate now? Link to comment
Ykpettengill Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Brightness finally yes, close enough. But still red on screen, green on print Link to comment
Ykpettengill Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 screenshot attached for clarification Link to comment

Ykpettengill Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 the brightness is still brighter on screen than the print, but manageable. I'd just have to deepen the blacks a bit to match it. Link to comment
