Hi @Damien Symonds, I have now recalibrated twice. but my prints tend to be more with a red tint than what's on the screen? Any ideas on getting it correct? (I moved print labs, so got new prints).

I have a Spider X Pro. I have followed your advice regarding the calibration- I have a 4000k bulb in the room etc. 
My brightness is very much higher than yours as per the spyder it says 120 is my target - I move it down to 100 though. 
I do have this colour option - it's just been set on native this entire time. But wondering if I should maybe jiggle the custom RGB sliders?

So your screen is too cool, @Larese?

Yep

[Damien Symonds]

How many times have you followed my troubleshooting steps and recalibrated?

[Larese]

4 - but can give it another go.

And you tried the "Warm" setting?

[Larese]

yep tried the warm setting. Still red on the prints and not on the screen.

And you're DEAD sure it's not the fault of your room light?

Yeah sorry - after numerous attempts to get it correct I searched in the forum for other solutions and ended up here and posted here. But I have been following the other instructions

Yes, that's your next option.  Fiddle with those sliders to get a match if you can, then calibrate again at the "Do not adjust" setting.

Thinking I need to get a lamp/different light source. As I can't do much in here (rental), we got a 4000k bulb from Bunnings yesterday and it still seems pretty warm in here.

Your artificial light has to be the same colour as natural light.  Does your room have windows?

[Larese]

yes - but I got some blinds and dark block out curtains? 

[Larese]

definitely the light source. Checked prints in different lighting and much better. 

[Damien Symonds]

Okay.  Any chance of moving to a different room?

[Larese]

Nope sadly no other room. 

[Damien Symonds]

Rats

Okay, you'll have to see what you can do about making the light cooler.

[Larese]

yeah thank you! That will be Hubby's job for the evening! Thank you for your input and time!
