The first time I calibrated the monitor, I felt the color saturation was WAY too high, and had originally turned down the digital vibrancy in the Nvidia control panel. There is a wide range of settings where the black level and white saturation tests "pass". The worry I have is with color saturation and brightness/contrast. Now I can get my gamma set to 2.2 dead on (tweaking the individual color gammas in Nvidia control panel), using the image. I was attempting to do it by eye, which depending on your commitment is either fine or sacrilege (seriously, it's like going on a John Deere forum to ask a question about a small lawn mower, you will get twenty people answering that what you really need is a full tractor and anything less is not worth it).
#USING SPYDER5 WITH DISPLAYCAL UPDATE#
I'm still in the process of setting up the printer (every step of the way, something else gets in the way or needs done, like firmware update for the wireless router I'm going to have it connect through).įirst thing I wanted to do was to calibrate my monitor. However, I don't want to screw up too much with my own printouts. I'm not pro, I think I would barely qualify as a hobbyist. I'm fairly sure this was a problem with the service and not the files or my monitor, as the file had information that obviously wasn't showing up on my prints. Areas that showed up on my monitor as varying degrees of grey would come back to me as solid black in the printout. I've previously ordered prints online, and have often been disappointed when the pictures were way too dark. The printer is new, and I'm just getting it set up.
