Well you have a straight curve, which indicates that there are no
adjustments happening in the 8-bit LUTs of the graphic card, which
correlates to less banding on screen. But that doesn¹t mean anything else
such as, how is the screen to print matching? Is the luminance (that low
70cd/m2) providing a soft proof that well matches whatever you view your
prints under, or if the white point provides a good match. You¹ve asked for
CCT 5000K but is that working in terms of print to screen matching or you¹ve
asked for this white point because someone told you it was ³right² (like the
luminance)? All you¹ve done is remove what was a pretty nasty looking curve
which can¹t hurt, but that doesn¹t mean the target calibration aim points
you¹re asking for are sound and reasonable.
Using the figures you now have a contrast ratio of roughly 266:1. Is that
ideal for matching the contrast ratio of the print? I don¹t know. And as
Danny commented, with today¹s display systems, we don¹t have a lot of
control here although you could raise your luminance to affect this, more
importantly to get a better (?) match to what viewing conditions are used to
view the prints.
We might be making some baby step progress here, I don¹t know. Yes, the
awfully strange set of curves are gone. That can¹t be a bad thing
considering what you originally provided.
