Hi,
in evaluating photographic labs I had them printing graduated gray
gradients to see how neutral their process is (and check for
potential black and white cut-offs). What I have noticed is that the
prints looks more or less neutral at daylight (between 5000 and 7000
K according to my Eye-One) but have a pinkish/magenta-ish cast when
viewed under normal fluorescent office light (about 4000 K).
Interestingly, my standard grey reference card shows none (or much
less) of these differences.
I know color photographic paper will never produce a perfectly
neutral grey but is this effect common with photographic paper or
should calibrate my eyes?
Best,
Markus
