Calibration woes

[babyruth828]

Not sure if this should be posted in the print forum or not… 

I bought a new iMac recently & thanks to Damien I got my color space problems solved. I then calibrated with the SpyderX Pro and set the white point to 5,000 as Millers Lab video said & set my luminance about 120ish. I feel like I’m editing on a dark orange computer now. Nonetheless, I re-edited & submitted new prints & even though the prints aren’t dark like they were previously (still trying to adjust to dim screen) they are now cooler than what I’m seeing. Should I try adjusting AGAIN and spend more money on test prints or try a different company? I literally can’t stand editing right now because of how warm my screen is.

Oh yeah, it MUST be a new lab.

Thank you! That explains so much! I suppose I didn’t notice how warm it was on my old 2013 2; inch imac, but with this new 2020 27inch imac, the d50 is a bit overwhelming & I felt like I was way overcompensating making the pictures cooler and then the last couple looked terrible online.
