Re:Monitor calibration

2010-09-10 by Clayton Price

Hi Pete,
It happens that I bought my Mac Pro (10.6.4)  right around the time  
my Lacie electron blue monitor was running out of the 3 year
warrantee (5 or 6 years ago). It started acting up, and Lacie  
immediately said they'd send me a brand new one, and returned old in  
the new box.
  I use it only for imaging, and a different computer for everything  
else, so it's still in great shape. However,
I no longer do my own calibrations -- instead I found someone who  
calibrates it for me about once a year. I'm not sure
which software  he uses with a puck, but it really works great. The  
combination of monitor and paper profiles for each
printer, gives me perfect CC and density/contrast.
When the CRT gives out, hopefully the new monitors with light diodes  
will be affordable.
If you need the info, contact me directly -- I'll call him and ask  
which software he uses.
