Latest round for me in the CRT to hardcopy soft proofing saga. This time
using a Solux 4700K / 35 degree lamp and my new Mitsubishi 2070SB-BK CRT
calibrated at none other than D50 chromaticities (I am such a die hard).
As per ISO-12646 recommendations, I have 500 Lux of illumination falling on
my hard copy (P2 in ISO 3664) which is sitting 6 inches away from the CRT,
to its left about the same plane as the face of the monitor. There is less
than 32 Lux falling on the faceplate of my CRT and at its present
calibration, it emits a bright 110 Cd/m2 of Luminance. The Solux lamp is
placed at about 40 inches away from the hard copy. I have baffled its light
so it does not fall on the left edge of my CRT -- only on the hard copy.
The hard copy in question is a Macbetch ColorChecker II (24 patches). What I
am comparing against is a Lab TIFF digital version of that chart that anyone
can download from www.brucelindbloom.com. Of course, I am viewing the TIFF
in Photoshop CS in Panther.
Well, folks, the match I am getting is pretty impressive. I am going to
pursue my investigations but it does look very good indeed (just had my
color vision tested with the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 Hue test).
