Greetings! I’m a total newbie calibrationg my dual monitor setup for the very first time and I could really use some help as I’m feeling like a fish out of water.
I have 2 different monitors, a HP P22h G5 as a main and a XP-PEN Artist 12 graphic tablet as secondary . My goal is to archieve (true to printing) matching colors between them as they’re used for graphic design. I have a rather basic tech knowledge so I’m completely lost on what settings, correction, etc. apply. I’m using a Spyder 3 pro for reference.
Recommendations and a quick step by step guide from start to finish would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
As S Simeonov said, you can trust that device, is innacurate. And old paperweight.
Anyway if you want to use it do not trust white measurement, get white point by visual approach, then “trust” that such innacurate device will not color the very dark greys and calibrate to taht visually matche white, not “d65 coordinates”. Also since device cannot be trusted, better stick with simple profiles “1 curve matrix” + fake infinute conytrast (bplack point compensation).My goal is to archieve (true to printing) matching colors between them as they’re used for graphic design.
You’ll need a “reference” light source to evaluate prints, and softproof printer profiles, and match brightess & light source color (assuming you can trust paper profile color simulation in youir image editing suite).
You want to jump a very deep rabbit hole just with an Spyder3 as companion… IMHO.But as I said above, do not trust SPyder3 readings for whiet point, fix it “visually” and then let’s trust that such SPyder won’t colorize dark greys.
Thank you. What correction setting (as seen on the 1st attached image) should I use for each monitor?
