Warm up

Make sure your screen has been turned on for at least fifteen minutes before starting calibration.  Half an hour would be even better.

Light

Make sure you’re in good light. Later you'll be making comparisons between your screen and your prints, and viewing prints in dim light is a futile exercise. It needs to be bright enough, and white enough. Read this if you haven’t already done so.

Get your brightness control ready

In a few minutes you'll be required to fine-tune your screen's brightness.  So you need to open your system's display window to have the brightness slider ready to go.

On a Mac it will look something like this ...

Hi Damien, I just changed my light bulbs with 4000K LEDs as per your recommendation. It seems a bit warm/yellowish? Just want to make sure it is supposed to be like this. Thank you.

Don't ignore that instinct.  If you're having trouble getting a print match, be prepared to experiment further with your bulbs.

Oh ok. The prints from 2 different labs match better with my screen under a 6400k bulb. Would that be a problem?

[Damien Symonds]

Not at all.
