Re: Print colour/Pantone Huey
Hi Nelliestew. It took me ages to get a sort of colour match. The problem is that a monitor is either "emissive" or reflective depending on whether you have an CRT or LCD display respectively. This should not make a difference to colour matching but subjectively the LCD does appear to be more saturated and can lead you to think the printed picture is different!!.
Like you I have tried some calibration aids by borrowing various devices and have set up the monitor using a "greyscale" chart and then reverting to manually changing the printer profiles to suit.
I would add this is not the method that proffessional graphics labs would adopt.Having many monitors and staff they need to have a common calibration and standard of repeatability.
One point I will add is that when you are satisfied with you printed results always use the same printer paper. I have found different makes of paper has more subtle affect on the end results than most other variables.
