Suri T Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Hi! Thanks for being ready to help out! I calibrated my monitor, though my prints still don't match my screen. I have the calibrate color checker display, I have a viewsonic screen. When I calibrated, I didn't adjust the brightness on my screen, because there doesn't seem to be an option of doing that with my screen-do you think that's the issue? Or is there anything else I could to get my screen to match my prints? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Hi @Suri T, just to check, were you following my exact directions here? https://www.damiensymonds.net/calibration-instructions/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suri T Posted June 30, 2022 Author Share Posted June 30, 2022 Thanks, so yes-I did follow all the instructions perfectly, though was unable to adjust the brightness of my screen before calibrating and whilst calibrating. My screen's native temperature is 6396k. and I didn't achieve a perfect graph (see screenshot) My prints still are warmer to my screen. Do my figures look terrible? anything I can do to make my prints match my screens colour? P.s Makes sense that after calibrating my screen, it changed the screens brightness and made my screen quite dark to work with? Thanks so much!

Suri T Posted June 30, 2022 Author Share Posted June 30, 2022 My lighting seems fine. I realised that I can adjust the brightness of my screen, (there are buttons behind the screen) though my brightness is already on 100% and my screen is still quite dark, which makes it hard to work on.

Damien Symonds Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Ok, now that you've found those buttons, go ahead and calibrate again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suri T Posted June 30, 2022 Author Share Posted June 30, 2022 Ok, did that and attaching my graph-it's still sliding downwards. What does it mean? And my screen is still darker than my prints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Yeah, that happens from time to time. Restart your computer before recalibrating.
