| Re: calibrating monitors
Until recently I have always had my monitor calibrated at regular intervals by a company specialising in Colour Management and Digital Imaging. I used them as at the time the hardware used was very expensive and it was a cheaper option to pay someone else than purchase the hardware myself.
I noticed over the last few weeks that prints were not comparing too well with the images displayed on the monitor, usually a good indication it is time to get the screen re-calibrated.
Given that the price of colorimeters has come down considerably in the last year or so I thought I would take the plunge and purchase one and do my own calibration. Having researched the subject I plumped for the Pantone Huey. It arrived this morning so thought I would set it up and give it a go, expecting to have a few headaches. I was pleasantly surprised the whole operation from setting up the hardware to completing the calibration took approx.10 minutes. The results are very impressive, printed off a few images and they are an extremely close match to the screen images.
If anyone is considering calibrating their monitor I can certainly recommend the Pantone Huey Pro.
