While I have been printing my photos for display for years, I have never gone beyond simply doing a basic monitor visual calibration with the old PS Gamma utillity.
My printers have been an Epson 1270, an Epson 1280 and then an Epson 1400, all dye based ink printers.
I have just purchased an Epson P400, my 1st pigment ink printer.
I am so struck by the increase in the quality of the prints that I am now thinking of picking up a calibration instrument to calibrate my monitors and then calibrating/profiling the new printer.
I have dual Dell U2412M monitors.
After looking around a bit, I'm thinking the ColorMunki Display will be best suited to my monitors and pocketbook.
My understanding is that the monitors are calibrated first, then the printer is tuned.
Can anyone give me an explanation, or point me to a good easily understood explanation of how this is all accomplished?
