I thought most people on this forum were looking for 'professional' solutions to 'professional' problems.
I come here to see what experts who make a living from this trade have to say. In this scenario it is all
about ROI and the bottom line is being able to guarantee that what you see is what you always get. I
would have thought that the extra cost of a 'profesional' monitor and calibration instrument would soon
be recovered by the cost benefits of predicatble and consistent quality. The most obviouos trend to me
is that Apple has a more consumer oriented focus these days. Hence its production lines are geared
more towards the mass market where the profit margin is greater rather than the 'niche' market of
industrial strength softproofing.

I don't think Peter is 'tossing aside' the cheaper option. To me, he is saying that it is allabout 'horses for
courses'. If you want to sign off on a contract you have to have a way of measuring and specifiying the
end result. Something that can be written into a contract. Again, this measurement procedure must be
econmically sustainable for the production environment in which it is used.
This is what standards are all about: an agreed achievable, measurable outcome we can sign off on
and stay out of the courts. This is obviously problematic when the devices (displays and their
measuring devices) are inconsistent.
