Default Re: Need help on purchasing a monitor calibration sys

So you print your own images at home? If not, then calibrating your monitor isn't going to fix your issue. You need to know exactly how and what whomever is printing on. You'll need a profile form them. Otherwise, it is still a crap shoot.

And I know a lot of people who have calibrated their monitor with $100 to $300 calibrators and they still were not "right on". But, it is very similar to camera reviews this print accuracy deal. One is better or this is spot on, etc., and the actual differences are so small it is very hard to tell.

I even know some who take and edit in Adobe RGB and post those on the web and send those to the printer and they don't match at all in either place. They are just a bit off. And all they really need to do is change the image to sRGB before sending....
