I guess this question has come up a million times
I million and a half times, to be exact ;-)
Would people please suggest their preferred/optimal calibration solutions
(to run under OSX-10.4.x) for:
1. Monitor LCD/CRT
Depends on the monitor technology. BasICcolor Display does wonder for my LCD
here, along with the Optix by X-Rite.
2. Inkjet (RGB)
Depends on the driver. Heidelberg, Fuji, Gretag and Monaco will all do you
justice here as far as profiling (sorry Louis, I'm still not familiar enough
with PerfX). In "RGB", there is no calibration possible unless you're
talking Frontier and Lambda.
3. Colour laser (CMYK)
Calibration depends on the printer model. The same profiling products
mentionned above will do a good job on a laser printer. As for measurement,
it depends how deep are your pockets. The Pulse does a good job. So does the
EyeOnePro. I'd stay away from the Iccolor (ask me offlist). If you have the
money, go for a Spectroscan.
4. Press
Same tools as above. But calibration is completely under your control. But
better do it right. Heidelberg has a whole software devoted for doing just
that. And it makes a world of difference.
5. Flatbed Scanner
Same list as above plus Picto InCamera.
6. Tranny scanner
Same list again plus Picto InCamera.
7. Digital Camera
The opinions are mixed here. Depends how repeatable or controlled your setup
is, really. Not worth it otherwise. Picto InCamera does good DC profiles.
