I think you will have to do some final tweaks manually. The color
temperature of a monitor seems to bear no relation to the color temperature
of a light booth. In addition, the color temperature reading capability of
the EyeOne is somewhat suspect. I confirmed this when I was visiting
Graphiclite, Inc. My Eyeone gave a color temp reading of their light booths
of about 5600K, while their Minolta colormeter showed a temp of 4950K. Not
that the Minolta is correct, but after 25 years in the prepress business, I
have a pretty good idea of what the color of a light booth should look like.
I find I have to get my monitor set to about "5800K" (by the EyeOne)
to match a 5000K light booth.

Hello all,
Danny and Roger's paper is an excellent tool for looking at your
lighting environment. Well done!
Here, I have recently said goodbye to my LaCie Electron Blue IV CRT
monitors and replaced them with LaCie 321 LCDs. and electronicly
generated ColorChecker on the monitor, next to a real Macbeth ColorChecker
in my GTI Soft-View light booth. I would then adjust the R,G, and B
settings on themonitor a few clicks here and there to achieve the best
visual match.
Lacie recommends using their own software, Blue Eye Pro, with the
Macbeth Eyeone. Trouble is, since the software appears a touch cool.
Or I could skip the Blue Eye Pro software, go back to Eyeone Match.
But when I view gray gradients with these profiles they show quite a
bit more banding than the Blue Eye Pro.
Does anyone out there have any suggestions or experience with this?
Many thanks,
