It's been so long since I originally set the parameters for my ColorVision spyder that I can't remember the why's and wherefore's of my settings. Much of it was probably recommended settings based on the controls of the monitor.
Your gray scale looks good on my MAC, though. All of the strips stand out (just as they do in the calibration process with the Spyder). My prints also look good compared to my monitor but especially so when I use the correct profiles I created with the ColorVision spectrocolorimeter. -Brendan --- Godfrey DiGiorgi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I calibrate the ACD23 to 140 luminance, 1.8 gamma > and 5500K white > point with the Eye One Display 2 and iMatch > software.
