I believe he means adjust the color temp of the monitor to a visual
match to your light booth. The best way to calibrate the Artisan is
with its own software and hardware. What you should do is try different
color temps, selecting them in the Artisan software, and stick with
what best matches your booth. We run our Artisans at 5900k. 6500k looks
too cool, 5500k too warm. GTI booths, with dimmers.
Good luck,
David

I was just reading Hutch Color's guide to better softproofing, and he
was
talking about non-adjustable light booths and how to lower their
luminance
to the same level of the monitor's by puttin gblack material over part
of
the bulbs. Can someone elaborate on that? Also, he talked of
adjusting
the color temperature of the monitor by eye instead of using a preset
temperature. I'm using a Artisan system. Should I set the color
temperature that way, and then instead of using the Artisan
colorimeter and
software, use the Eye-One instead, so it will only read the monitor
instead
of trying to control it? Does it even work that way, and if not, what
is
the best way to go about this? I do know that even with the limited
work
I've done, the one part of my workflow that is definitely off is my
monitors representation of my files, whereas press and proofer are
much closer.
Thanks
