What you see is what you get!

We suggest you first calibrate your monitor then see what if anything you need to adjust on the scanner. To get the correct output consider calibrating your printer (see below) also.

This way you avoid adding yet another driver to your system and the possible implications adding software sometimes brings. We have not yet seen a correctly adjusted monitor (before calibration) however many modern scanners do a fantastic job right out of the box!

Hello Russell,

The printer profile you prepared for me works well! A success at last! I had been wallowing for months before this breakthrough. I wish to thankyou for firstly for dealing with my under-developed knowledge on the subject and for also responding to my many correspondences. Your product is well worth the nominal cost to have made up and has really given me the impetus to continue in my digital photographic exploits. Excellent service, excellent product and excellent results! Your efforts are greatly appreciated and will be recommended widely & thoroughly.

Many Thanks,

Matthew Brennan

Hi Russell

A quick line to let you know that I'm now getting prints with colours
that match exactly what I see on the screen, using your profiles. I
hadn't realized what a difference custom profiles would make compared
with the printer manufacturer's supplied profiles. I purchased a
Nelson 75W Natural white fluorescent light (the bayonet cap type) to
go in my desk lamp. It has a colour temperature of 5000deg K, and is
an excellent source for viewing prints at any time of day or night.
The phosphors give almost correct colour to the colour targets you
supplied, whehter viewed in sunlight or under the fluorescent. I've
acquired a good understanding of setting up the Mac and Photoshop to
use the custom profiles after a lot of research, so many thanks again
for your input.
Regards
Mick

You could think of a profile as an Equailser on your home Hi-fi system, it adjusts the final output from the available maximum output.

The gamut is the colour range, across the spectrum, that a device is able to reproduce. The way we see the results are greatly effected by the profiles applied to the device.
