i1 Display Pro calibration

[TAMD]

Hi Damien, i have 2 labs that i print through, and i have recently calibrated with the i1 Display Pro.  The final result looks like neither of them, and they both use the same

paper and they look different to each other too.  What should i do??

[Damien Symonds]

Hi Tammie, were you following my instructions here?

[TAMD]

Yes i am, i think i have done it right.  I assume that when choosing the Warm, Normal and Cool temps i do that here?

[Damien Symonds]

I have never seen that screen before.  How did you access it?

[TAMD]

System Preferences on an iMac, should i be looking somewhere else for the Warm, Normal and Cool?  I couldn't find them anywhere else.  Any ideas?

 

[Damien Symonds]

No, you're NOT following my instructions correctly.  Go to the link again, and choose the correct one.

[TAMD]

Do you mean from the colour presets or the targets.  I thought i had followed the instructions

 

[Damien Symonds]

No, you didn't.  You chose the instructions from the "Desktop computers and external monitors" column, but you have a Mac, so of course you were supposed to choose it from the "Macs and Laptops" column.

God I'm stupid! Sorry to bother you, will try again

[TAMD]

So this is my final result ... its closer, but i can't check properly until tomorrow because i have golden light streaming through all the windows. How does it look?

 

[Damien Symonds]

Let me know how the comparison goes.

Hi Damien, i have just redone again this  morning starting from a cooler white point and its a bit better.  Its still not perfect but i might just have to live with it and make sure i adjust any images that i am having printed.  Its only marginal i guess, the skin tones are a bit more magenta than what i see on my screen. Thanks for your help.
