Hi,
Your Lacie has hardware color gun control, mine is older and the color guns
can only be controled with the Blue Eye software. The Blue Eye software
conflicts with Optical, so it is a catch 22 situation.
I am using an old KDS Avitron monitor for now, not a great monitor, but it
has color gun control on the front panel, which enables me to use it with
PreCal. I get a great monitor to print match.
If I had $2K to burn I'd get the new Sony Artisan, but lately with the
economy in my area the budget is smaller than I'd like, and this one works
great with Optical.
Best wishes,
Rob
