Hello
I own the complete Colorvision Tools ³Spyder3Studio² but I am not able to
finish to get a workable workflow. I use a MacBook Pro and an Apple
CinemaDisplay 23². Ferther I work with 4 printers, 2 inkjets (Canon iP5000,
iP9950) and 2 color lasers (Minolta M5550 and Xerox 6250)
First I did the calibration off the LCD. This seems to work fine and in my
opinium this finished OK and I have an useble screen.
My question here is which gamma ist the best. Apple tells you to use 1.8 but
in the NET people advise to use 2.2. New OS X Snow Leopard will have also
2.2 ³Apple has finally come to their senses and will be joining the rest of
the technology world by setting gamma 2.2 as the default in Mac OS X 10.6
Snow Leopard. Their official reason for the change is to ³better meet the
needs of digital content producers and consumers,² according to early 10.6
seed notes.²
My really problem is the use of both screen together. For each a profile was
generate but when are both used (Apple CinemaDisplay connected to the
DVI-Port, they are complete different. How can I match both that they look
the same and are not darker or more yellow). I hadn¹t find any info on the
colorvison site how i match 2 screens to the same computer.
The second problem ist the printcalibration. For this I used the
Spyder3Print 3.5b9
First I sorted out how to switch off the colorsync on all printers (by the
driver) to get a clean target (2 sheets with each 256 fields (color & gray).
After the measure off all the targets and the generations of the profile I
come to the sample picture. What to do now. When I want to print this do I
need to print it with the settings-²colorsync off². I tried both but the
result is not as it should be. On the screen it looks much better and more
neutral. With colorsync-off it looks the best, with colorsync on it is more
dark and the colors differs (this is, (i suggest) because their is anothe
profile mapped to this settings
My last questions is maybe a cosmetical one. In the Pulldown Menu off the
Papier are the default Papers of the driver listed. I suggest I need to map
(link these) new profile to a existing paper with the Colorsync Utility App.
I would prefer a solution where a new kind of paper would be add to the
driver (e.g. Ilford Smooth Glossy (Geha)). I mostly use 2 or 3 different
Glossy Papers (depanding on clients needs) and don¹t want to change
everytime this in the Colorsync Utility App.
The Spyder3Studio is a nice tool but the software isn¹t finished for me,
especially the documentation to get a working workflow is more or less
useless
Who can give me some advice to get my colors looks like it should be?
Regards
Gerard
