Martin, I know the monitor has to be on for a while but how does leaving the sensor on the screen affect performance? Would it not warm up just sitting in the cradle? Does the light have to be on? This would suggest that you need to a few 'dead runs' before accepting the final result. A time-consuming exercise for sure. I've been told that the ColorMunki performs better at this task. What's your response? I have also been told that the Eizo monitors with the built-in sensor perform well in this respect, probably because they have been factory calibrated to the monitor. Have you any experience with them? Mark On Fri, May 29, 2015 at 5:20 AM, Spinnaker Photo Imaging Center < spinnakerphotoimagingcenter@dnmillerphoto.com> wrote:
I actually do this: 'leaving it to warm on the screen for twenty minutes before attempting a calibration’. I kind of figured this out on my own. Sometime back someone also suggested this….might have been regarding reading target patches for Printer Profiling. For the printer profiling, I do it twice just to warm up the 1iPro version D. Again, using i1Publish.

If an i1 Pro is so inadequate what instrument DO you recommend for profiling a professional grade monitor like an NECs or Eizo?
i1Pro is terrible. You can improve it from terrible to really mediocre by leaving it to warm on the screen for twenty minutes before attempting a calibration.
We use BasICColor Display and the BasICColor Discus to calibrate NECs and on Apple 27” LEDs too.
Does a great job — especially as it allows us to hardware calibrate NEC’s cheaper PA241 and PA271 panels.
The money you save not buying into the “Spectraview" name is much better spent on a Discus ;-)
