Damien Symonds Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Talk to me, @Erin Falkenham. In what way does your screen differ from your prints? What make and model of screen do you have, and which Spyder do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erin Falkenham Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Hi Damien, The colors of my prints match ok but the overall print appears drab or slightly underexposed when compared to the screen. I have the Spyder 5 Pro and my monitor is a Dell Ultrasharp model U2917W Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 That means your screen is too bright. Are you following my exact directions here? https://www.damiensymonds.net/calibration-instructions/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erin Falkenham Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 No I didn't. I will review this and redo. I don't have current prints to compare to it. As per your instructions, should I get prints before I try your method or give it go and then order prints? I have to go do barn chores right now but will be back in 30 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erin Falkenham Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Hi Damien, Thank you for checking in. They should arrive tomorrow I will let you know once they do. Would you like me to calibrate and then contact you or touch base with you before starting? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 I'll probably be asleep when they arrive, so don't wait for me Go ahead and calibrate. I look forward to hearing how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erin Falkenham Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Hi Damien, You are most likely asleep I realize. I am about 14 hours behind you so it can be challenging to to connect. I received my prints and started the calibration last night. I ran into some difficulty with the very first step though that I will try to trouble shoot this evening. When I went into my computer system to ensure the screen wasn't automatically adjusting the brightness, I realized that my laptop was not recognizing my external monitor, even when pressing the detect button. I am doing some research today and will get back at it this evening after work. Many thanks! Erin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crikey, that's bad. So the external screen is completely black? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erin Falkenham Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 HI Damien! Happy to report that I figured things out and calibrated my monitor using your instructions. I compared with the prints from the lab and I am really happy with how it turned out. I can't thank you enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
