New screen issues

[hookk]

Hi D, I recently got a new screen (AOC I2367FH) and am having a hard time trying to get this right! After several attempts, I have the brightness acceptable (screen brightness is at 0 and used 90 luminance) but the color is off.

Native was horrid, first pic is D65 and second is D55. My print is slightly more yellow and I cant get the screen to match. I have an Colormunki Display.

Any suggestions? Much appreciated

Here is the file

Hi Karen, first, can you assure me that your light isn't the problem?  It frequently is, in these situations.

[hookk]

Yeah, light is good, the same as I had with the old screen and that calibrated fine (until it died!)

[Damien Symonds]

Great.

You mentioned D55 and D65 - are those the Munki settings?  What about the screen's presets?  Have you tried a variety of those?

[hookk]

Yip, they are the Munki settings. I have spent 2 days now going through each available setting and re-calibrating to each with little success. I might just do a reset on it and give it another go tomorrow because I think I need a really strong coffee about now.

Also, the lab have sent me their ICC profile to soft proof and I saved it under LibraryColorsyncProfiles as suggested but when I go to View / Proof Setup / Custom, their is no available list in the dropdown box - see pic. Have I missed something? PS and laptop have both been restarted too.

Yes, I saw this article but I dont have any profiles showing in the dropdown box. It only shows Custom and then Other which is greyed out?

[Damien Symonds]

Because you're looking in the wrong drop-down menu, ya goose! ?

[hookk]

I've clearly spent too much time behind this monitor! Thank you!!!

[hookk]

Damien, I think I am there! But.... the reds on my screen seem just a bit too saturated. Does that mean I have not really managed to calibrate it properly yet?

[Damien Symonds]

Is that with or without the soft-proofing?

[hookk]

Without.

[Damien Symonds]

And does the soft-proofing make any improvement to that particular red issue?

[hookk]

Very slightly but the red on screen is still a bit too saturated.

[Damien Symonds]

Ok, then you're going to have to live with it.  It's just one of those things.

Ok, thank you so much for all your help with this, beer donation coming your way!
