Setting up color space to match screen and print viewing is important.
I had been using 5500 for screen, and for work station, but the new monitors work better at 6500, and changing room lighting to 6500 is the way to eliminate other influences.
I am planning to replace my light table lamps to 6500 as well.


If you plan to adjust print colors to the display room light, then your light booth needs to replicate the light for the display area, not the monitor.

As for prepress, I have no comment.

Regarding the LaCie 324 monitor:
I purchased a 324 from La Cie several weeks ago. It is a great
monitor. And the extra screen space is very useful.
If you have the budget for it, their blue eye would be the good choice
for calibration.

I have tried the Huey pro, (on my Intel Imac 20) and have been
unsuccessful in achieving a usable calibration.  The la Cie profile
that is loaded works well, and is much superior to that available for
the IMac display.

The 324 la Cie is making printing a lot more enjoyable, and consistent.
I plan to borrow an Eye One for testing soon.

Just a further note on verifying monitors to GRACoL2006...

In my shop we have about 15 Eizo CG10s and 5 CG11s. I've just tried
the ColorNavigator GRACoL2006 verification routine on 2 of each model,
with nearly identical results. If I calibrate and profile the monitor
to D50, L*, 140 cd/m2, I get a max dE76 of around 15 and and avg. of
around 5. This happened on all 4 monitors, so I guess that is just the
gamut of these devices. The worst patch is either 100C or the 100c,
100y overprint, both right around 15. If I switch to dE2000, indeed
the max is right around 6.7-6.9 with an avg. of 3, so I guess these
monitors do "certify" if the tolerance is dE2000<7.


If I change the white point to D65 (or 5500), that de76 max goes up to
around 20, so clearly D50 matters. Unlike Dan Reid, I found that
switching the measurement device's compensation table to "none" in the
ColorNavigator preferences had no effect on these numbers. I also
tried switching between my DTP94 and eye1, and that didn't change the
numbers either.


When I visually compare the gamuts in Colorthink, there is of course a
huge cyan/green wedge of GRACoL sticking out of the monitor gamut.
Does anyone find this disparity to be problematic in your workflow? Do
wide-gamut monitors really help people get better & faster results in
color matching? Has anyone tried to use soft-proofing and then been
"surprised" at how the cyans and greens hard-proofed or printed?


Just curios!

If one has a viewing booth sitting next to the monitor, then the white point on the display has to match that in the booth as closely as possible, in both chromaticities and luminance. But if one is working without a viewing booth, I would think that the white point is far less relevant.

Whether the display's white point is D50 or D65, and as long as the
monitor is the brightest light source in the work environment, the
process of chromatic adaptation in the viewer's eyes will discount
the illuminant anyway.

Hello. Is anyone familiar with the Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP (Editors'
choice
CNET) or the LaCie 324 LCD (Monitor + Hood + Calibration Software)?

We are looking for new monitor purchases that can be used instead of
purchasing the Apple Cinema Display, which we are not satisfied with
the
current models. The screens provided by Apple, in the size range we
are
interested in, now have a high gloss finish on them. Additionally we
have
been somewhat disappointed with the quality of the screens for the
cost of
them with ghosting problems they develop before even the three year
point.
Can someone who has seen either of these monitors offer some comments?


What other options in the Cinema Display price range would you
recommend?
(at least 23² screen)

Thanks!

My CG19's have close to the same gamut as your monitors. We have
been using
the CG19's for 3 years now. We know they don't match GRACoL 7 proofs
exactly
but they get very close visually. As the DE2000 numbers indicate.
It's not a
problem in our workflow because we know the limitation of the
monitor gamut.

I've downloaded profiles of several newer Eizo models such as the
CG222.
I've compared the gamuts and the CG222 has a wider gamut than the
CG19. The
gamut still doesn't cover 100% cyan but it's a lot closer than the
CG19 at
about the same price. I would expect that the CG222 and other
monitors with
similar gamut size would have lower DE numbers.

I was asked to profile and calibrate a projector at the last minute
and limited budget (at least for color management). Chose the
ColorMunki Photo, which performed pretty well.

The Projector was a Panasonic PT-DW10000U throwing still images from a
Keynote slideshow at 1920x1080 HD onto a 9'x16' Dalite rear projection
screen.

Any suggestions on how to tweak the profile to try to bring out the
shadow detail? As with any projector, black is only as dark as the
ambient light, and shadow detail suffers as the bottom 5% is lost from
spill-light and reflections. Can this be cheated somehow? Please
recommend software.

Also, anyone know what color management is going on in Keynote? I've
been converting all the images to sRGB—the photographer's studio sent
images assigned ProPhoto, grayscale, a number of scanner profiles (!),
and Adobe98.

Thanks.

Continuing on this black point
compensation thing, but on another track, I had a close look at two ICC v2 sRGB
profiles on the ICC's www.color.org site. These MatTRC profiles are named sRGB_IEC61966-2-1_noBPC.icc and
sRGB_IEC61966-2-1_withBPC.icc.

I've taken a close look at both of these in the past, and in my opinion
they are both faulty, and not compliant with the ICC V2 spec.


The sRGB_IEC61966-2-1_noBPC.icc profile doesn't appear to represent
the colorimetic behaviour of the IEC61966-2.1 space.

According to the ICC V2.4 spec, table 20 page 19,
a display profile using a matrix should represent colorimetric
information. The IEC61966-2.1 space is defined as having
XYZ value of 0 for RGB 0, while the sRGB_IEC61966-2-1_noBPC.icc
profile produces a non-zero XYZ for a zero RGB.

The sRGB_IEC61966-2-1_withBPC.icc profile correctly produces
XYZ 0 for RGB 0, but its black point tag is inconsistent
with this, and contains a non-zero value. The causes
a problem in the dark areas when this profile is gamut
mapped to an output space, where the gamut mapping
is relying on the black point to be truthful.

I'm not sure what the idea of the sRGB_IEC61966-2-1_withBPC.icc
profile is in any case. BPC is a gamut mapping technique,
and is therefore only applicable to perceptual or saturation
intents. Given that a matrix profile can only contain
one intent, and it has to be colorimetic, trying to
create an sRGB matrix profile with BPC would seem to be
non compliant with the ICC V2 spec.

If such a profile is wanted, then it should be a Lut based
profile, so that the BPC effect can be encoded in the
perceptual table, leaving the colorimetic information
in the colorimetric table.

I note that neither of these profiles is consistent with the
standard sRGB profile released by Microsoft and HP
on the www.srgb.com website and also distributed
with various copies of Microsoft Windows (the "sRGB Color Space Profile.icm"
file) thereby sowing considerable confusion about what sRGB actually is.


They fix the D65 MWP problem of the
old sRGB profile that Adobe applications aptly ignore but bring up some
questions that don't seem to be well answered by the associated ICC committee descriptions
(I think ICC folks sometimes obfuscate instead of clarify).

I'm unaware of any practical issued with the official sRGB profile as distributed
by Microsoft. It behaves very sensibly as far as I can see. There is a subtle
incompatibility if it is used with a CMM that employs the "Wrong Von Kries"
chromatic adaptation to recover absolute colorimetric behaviour, but on
the other hand it gives better color reproduction for the much more
commonly used relative colorimetric intent than a display profile created
using "Wrong Von Kries".


So if, as consensus seems to have it
from the Forum, BPC is a CMM operation, how could these sRGB source profiles
have properties related to BPC and be so named. Why would I want to have a "flare" factor added to my images
with the ..noBPC profile? How would one
actually use the
noBPC profile?

I wouldn't recommend using either profile.

When I was checking out what tolerances to use I saw the GraCol
tolerance for the primary was 7 ∆E2000 and though that was too high
for colour critical work. The point of using ∆E2000 is that it scales
very well for different colours and luminances. ∆E76 is really bad at
this kind of comparison because of the really high numbers you get for
yellow/cyan. A ∆E2000 of 2 can equate to a ∆E76 of 13, so we would
have to set the tolerances at something like 15 ∆E76 to get a pass.
This might make sense for yellow, but it won't work for black or
magenta. It''s already complicated enough using ∆E and ∆H and
different tolerances for different colours would be a nightmare to
explain to customers.


These are the default tolerances in viewSIGN:
Average ∆E2000 3
Maximum ∆E2000 5
Paper Colour ∆E2000 3
Grey Balance ∆E2000 3
CMYK Primaries ∆E2000 3

As it's hard to achieve these numbers we've used a scoring system
(like that is used on press in pressSIGN) to give a rating.

If I change the white point to D65 (or 5500), that de76 max goes up
to around 20, so clearly D50 matters. Unlike Dan Reid, I found that
switching the measurement device's compensation table to "none" in

The bluer the light, the worse the cyan will measure because of the Lab values being measured relative to the white-point, but the white- point has been artificially changed (using curves either in the monitor or the profile) making it harder for an RGB monitor to generate a bluer cyan relative to a bluer light.

I also have a CG210 and CG 211. Have you noticed that Eizo recommend 80 -
100 cd/m2? And that if you use over 100 cd/m2, your warranty is invalid?

Hi Bob

I recalibrated at D50, L*, 100 cd/m2 and GRACoL validation reported
max dE76=17.2, Avg=3.1, white=0.2
Just for reference, when I was at D50, L*, 140 cd/m2, I got max
dE76=15.2, Avg=4.9, white=5.5

So while the lower luminance didn't help the out-of-gamut cyan and
green overprints, it did bring the average down some and the
whitepoint dramatically.

I looked up the CG211 at swop.org and there was only one system
(Remote Director) which certified a CG211 to GRACoL, and their ADS set
luminance at 160 cd/m2, so I tried that as well and got pretty much
identical results to 140 cd/m2. All three of these settings got the
max dE2000 just under 7 which means they would all "certify".

I believe that Remote Director goes with 160 because soft-proof
scenarios are often required to match a D50 light booth sitting
directly next to the monitor, and even at 160 the booth would have to
be dimmed to about 50% to get comparable luminance between hard proof
white and monitor white. I don't know if you can dim a booth enough to
match 100 cd/m2.

Many of our CG211s have a GTI D50 tabletop booth right next to them,
and after extensive testing we have found that the best white point
match between monitor and booth is achieved with the booth at 50%
brightness and the monitor set to 5400K, L*, 140 cd/m2. At this
setting, my Gracol validation reports:
max dE76=20.3, Avg=3.1, white=0.2

This gets the best match between hardproof and screen. We don't really
notice too much any problem with the cyans and greens, or maybe we've
just gotten used to it, but if that whitepoint (and thus gray balance)
shift, that is very noticeable. So, interestingly, neither what Eizo
or ICS recommend give us the best results in terms of visual matching.

I believe they used 160 cd/m2 for the certification so that the monitor
would be bright enough to softproof in a brightly lit press room.

match 100 cd/m2.


Many of our CG211s have a GTI D50 tabletop booth right next to them,
and after extensive testing we have found that the best white point
match between monitor and booth is achieved with the booth at 50%
brightness and the monitor set to 5400K, L*, 140 cd/m2. At this
setting, my Gracol validation reports:
max dE76=20.3, Avg=3.1, white=0.2

This gets the best match between hardproof and screen. We don't really
notice too much any problem with the cyans and greens, or maybe we've
just gotten used to it, but if that whitepoint (and thus gray balance)
shift, that is very noticeable. So, interestingly, neither what Eizo
or ICS recommend give us the best results in terms of visual matching.

After posting that I created a jpeg through CMYK Optimizer, I was contacted off-list by members of the Alwan team to investigate. I can't recreate the problem now.

I don't know if it was a fluke, or a group of settings. I'll try to backtrack to see if I can come up with the same thing again.
