Hi,
I am a physicist trying to help my wife, an artist, pick out an
"acceptable" color management system. My wife uses a 21" Apple Studio
Monitor with Colorsync, Photoshop 7 (actually V5.5 today), Painter 7, an
Epson 7000 with Generations 4 and 5 ink, printing on matte smooth
acid-free bright white 24" wide paper (she could use some advice on
papers also). She would only use a few papers, possibly even one.
What I have been able to learn is that Colorvision has a bundle for $499
that includes a 7 filter monitor calibration system and a printer
calibration, but does not have any privisions for calibrating the
scanner which seems to me to be a fundamental flaw. On the other hand,
for $499, Monaco has a 3 filter monitor calibration system and a
calibrated target for calibrating the scanner which would seem, in
principle, to be all that is necessary to establish a closed loop
calibration. Which of these systems would be preferable, and would it
be necessary to go to a hand held scanner based system for about $2500
to get a reliable system? Or asked another way, would a few tweaks on
either the Colorvision or the Monaco system be good enough?
