p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Prints no longer matching monitor very well | |
Hi All,
Have not visited FM in over a year or two. But always appreciate the advice. I have a Canon iPF6300 that I have had for about two years. About 6 months ago the unit would not print. Called for service and they came out the first day and replaced the board, still not functioning. Second and third days they replaced the print heads and carriage assembly. Finally got it to work. I essentially have a new machine because pretty much all of the major parts were replaced. Ever since that time my prints are much darker than what I see on my monitor. Mind you that prior to the problem I had a very good match between the monitor and the prints. I have done at least 6 calibrations to try and get a better match, but have not had any luck. It seems to me that the gamma of the print is too strong. So on my last calibration I went from 2.2 Gamma to 2.0, because I really do not know what else to try. This resulted in no improvement. My Luminance has been at 78 cd/m2 and has been doing a great job until now. So I lowered it to 75 and really could not see any improvement.
I am just looking for some advice on how to get a better calibration so that the monitor and prints are close. Any help would be appreciated.
Some additional information:
I have a Dell 2209 monitor that is about 3 years old. I purchased this because the general thought on FM was that this unit, for the price, was very good. In fact, it did solve my printing and calibrating issues at the time. Perhaps this is getting old and is not as bright or accurate.
I use an i1 profiling device, just updated the software and this also has been doing a great job.
I would be glad to add any other information that you may need to help me with this frustrating issue.
Thank you,
Jim
