In our shop the scanner op runs a Lacie, my RIP station runs a five
year old Radius PCD17. We both calibrate using ViewOpen. The Rad's
color and gray state is more stable,visually accurate to proofs from
four of five output devices, and infinitely easier to calibrate. The
Lacie's monitor controls and documentation make for a tangled web we

Are you calibrating with the most recent View Open?
Yup. 4.0
The other versions only
allowed profiling over the actual state of the monitor/clut.
I calibrated and profiled a LaCie 22 blue eye this week and it worked
without a hitch except I couldn't move the OSD so precallling the guns was a
little slower waiting for the OSD to dissapear.
NOTE: To make the OSD disappear, press Scroll and Enter together.
Also the OSD position can be set with the plus/minus keys under the
same OSD menu as degaus/powersave/controllock/osd
position/diagnosis/language.
We preset the kelvin temp on the monitor to 5000k but had to bump it
up to near 6000k just to get on the scale with the
brightness/contrast measurement. The Brightness/Contrast info-aid
says to set brightness to its highest setting and adjust lum witht
the contrast. This makes the monitor look like mud. Oddly enough the
k ended up being 5100 and change, with the luminance riding high in
the 100 range. We tried starting off from different points but always
seem to end up with the same result. We use 70% neutral gray screen
backgrounds. The Radius you can hold a gray card to, the Lacie sits
around 50%.
This is our first kick at the can with VO. Is there something we're
just missing here? (The manual isn't very specific).
