Precision Color Ink rubbing off! Need help urgently! :|

[Grey]

noted on your advise! But could I make a request for a profile? I have a box (box of boxes) Canson Infinity Gloss 270 - http://www.canson-infinity.com/en/gloss270.asp

Would really appreciate it if there's a profile for that. Or would you recommend that I download their profile and just use that?

Please check your PM later. I'll issue instructions on how that will be done.

For anyone wanting screen to print matching, just use the inks, listed paper and profiles and get a simple SypderExpress calibrator for little over $100 and color management is done for you. Nada extra to do.

Recommend the poster @Grey review the differences in the Spyder packages at http://spyder.datacolor.com/display-calibration/. Nice chart detailing options.

I use SpectrCal's Calman software. They upgraded their software (and hardware) and offered a $99 upgrade to their Enthusiast software that includes both monitor AND TV calibration for those of us with earlier versions. I lucked out since it would cost considerable more now to upgrade to that version.

Probable biased comparison of Calman RGB vs Spyder4Pro: http://color.spectracal.com/calman-rgb-comparison-home

Spyder4Express can be bought on the internet for $79 (US) and the Spyder4Pro for $149. The Calman RGB is $199. All of these packages include software and a colorimeter.

@stratman hey I'm not looking for a screen calibrator. The Dell UH2713H has hardware calibration support but is only compatible with the i1Pro Display, which is what I got. I need it cause' I am running 2 screens. The secondary screen gets calibrated first and then I hardware recalibrate the UH27 to match

Cool.

What software are you running with your i1Pro?

Dell Ultrasharp Color Calibration Solution
This is the monitor I use http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&cs=19&sku=225-4148

Is this what you are referring to?:

• Custom color adjustments: Tweak shades to your preference of saturation or hue with Dell Custom Color. Or choose to further calibrate the monitor with the optional X-rite i1DisplayPro colorimeter, which allows you to access a 14-bit LUT (look-up table) via the Dell UltraSharp Color Calibration Solution software.

Your monitor stores calibration changes to the LUT in the monitor itself, unlike the usual DIY monitor calibration LUTs stored as a file on the hard drive. Nice.

the following link is a 2011 article comparing your colorimeter to others. Nice as well.

I considered the ColorMonki years ago but it's $400 cost was not attractive. Now I see it is $150 on Amazon. Sheesh!

I need a new colorimeter. they lose accuracy, even within a year, and cannot be re-calibrated. How would the regular user know when to buy a new one?
