How to Match Your Prints to What you See on Your Monitor

- NOTE: Using a contrast limited monitor profile reduces the contrast ratio of your display and may not be appropriate for general use or preparing files for web viewing. Paper profiles made with X-Rite i1Pro devices can be utilized. However, profiles made with other devices or downloaded from paper manufacturer sites are not accessible for selection in i1Profiler software.
Soft Proofing is always recommended when printing for critical color, luminance, and contrast match when printing.

Notes by the author Jared Platt -
If you already have a color managed workflow for your photo editing, you have calibrated your monitor and you’ve calibrated your printer, but you are looking for an even better more accurate way to edit your images for the print, I have a tip for you. You can create a monitor profile that includes the contrast ratio of your paper so that your monitor will not only show you perfect color, but it will feel just like the paper you are about to print on. Especially if you are always printing on the same paper and have a dedicated printing station, calibrating your printing station’s monitor to a particular paper will give you immediate feedback in your editing as though you are editing your images directly on your inkjet paper. This is also useful if you are always printing on a particular paper through a print house, either as individual prints or on press paper for books. Using your paper calibrations to limit the contrast ratio in your monitor profiles will take the guesswork out of your editing and printing workflow. Watch the video and give it a try. You will need an X-Rite monitor calibrating device like the i1Display Pro or i1 Photo Pro 2 that will allow you to make custom monitor profiles.
Fantastic video! Really well explained, thanks!
Fascinating, thanks
Is there a way to measure paper contrast without ICC profile?
I have an i1Pro1, it gives me L* values but I don't know how to calculate contrast ratio.
And after I get contrast ratio, how do you set the black point in cd/m2 accordingly?
For example : monitor white point calibrated to 100cd/m2
Paper white = L=95
100% black = L=15
How do I do?
Thanks a lot!
I have the i1Studio. It is supposed to calibrate monitors as well as printers. What is the difference between this and the i1PhotoPro or i1 Profiler?
Can I use the canned profiles that Canson and Hahnemuhle that I believe they've built using X-rite device?
Does it the same as using Pro Mode/Driver Matching from Canon Pro Printer Series?
Can you show us how to do the same with the X-Rite i1 Studio?
icc profiles are installed, and when i want to choose contrast ratio from printer profile I don't see any list here with icc profiles. why?
Hi! I am using a RIP for my prints called ImagePrint. Will this mess up my profiling of the printer? I guess I just print the profile checkers print through my RIP and then make an ICC profile that I use when I profile my monitor (Eizo CG276)! And how do I find the specific contrast ration of my pappers. I use Canson Baryta, RAG Photographic and Edition Etching RAG. Thanks!
Perfect! since I purchased your courses for photo editing on Lightroom mobile earlier and I found them quite useful. 1) how can I trust my iPad Pro display when I spend lots of time for photo editing and then print from iMac which calibrated paper-look and print? 2) I heard that apple monitor doesn’t need colour calibration! But in this video I see that you are calibrating it? Please clarify if I can and should calibrate it or I need to buy Benq sw271c for 100% accuracy? 3) for the best of best print quality for exhibition and museum level printing, shall I invest for Epson 24 inches desk P6000/7000 or Canon system? Many thanks.
does this help when the paper is incompatible to the printer???
I can't change the contrast to "from printer profile" all other modes are ok except the one you mentioned 😩😩
i recently got me a gerber edge and i noticed the spot colors look extremly off on screen... LOL can u recommend a good monitor... i also have a very cheap monitor i thinks its time to invest in a good one with good colors...
Every monitor, tablet, phone, television screen can display 18,000,000 colors
I spent Almost $1000 dollars on a professional photographers monitor; I need EXACT colors. This monitor can display 4 TRILLION colors. It was voted monitor of the year in 2017. You are only as good as your equipment !!
I have the i1Display Pro Plus and don't see the option for contrast ratio in i1Profiler. Am I missing something?
never mind, found the advanced settings toggle in the home menu.
Is this more accurate then using the soft proofing option? Do you make exposure, contrast and color decisions using this display profile?
Proofing with paper simulation has frustrated most of us as it is not very accurate for whatever reason. This way you have no questionable transforms going on, just hardware measured results which in theory would be closer to reality IMO. I'll have to try it to know for sure!
I have the same question!
If I understand correctly, he reprofiled his monitor under an altered contrast condition, but nonetheless, the resulting monitor profile still represents the colour response of the monitor, not the paper. Soft proofing, despite its shortcomings, has access to both the paper profile and the monitor profile and therefore simulates a mapping between the two profiles, which would include both contrast and colour response. So I don't see how this method in the video is more accurate or reliable than soft proofing. I wouldn't make any decisions using this display profile and I certainly wouldn't try to edit an image using it. Of course, I could be missing something.
Using this feature may assist in evaluating the contrast ratio that specific papers can produce. One should use Soft Proofing in addition to this workflow for the final evaluation of the image before printing. Using a contrast limited profile may not be appropriate for general use or preparing files for web viewing.

Sooooo... The video about creating printer ICC profiles is nowhere to be found. Is it hidden or deleted?

Agnieszka Jakubowicz Thank You! So it was hidden for some reason…
This has been corrected. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this recommended video being unavailable earlier.
I have an issue then, strangely when I scan colored documents or photos on my HP printer(it all in one) it brightens the color of my images not getting the exact replica of it. When I scan a photo or doc I need it to look identical color and all. How can I fix this ?????

This is a bit confusing! Let say you have no paper profile and to create one you need to calibrate your monitor now what do you choose for contrast ratio?
This will depend on the paper types and presentations you most often use. Contrast ratio is all based on the density of the black-point for any given print medium. When comparing a matt and gloss surface of the same paper, the gloss will typically have a richer (darker) black point resulting in a higher contrast ratio. Lighting of the final print - luminance and color temp - will have an affect on perceived print contrast. Presentations can have an effect as well. If a chromagenic gloss paper such as Fuji Crystal Archive or Kodak Metallic are behind a laminate, that lam will be the final deciding factor for black point and thus contrast ratio. If you print on various materials and are just looking for an easy answer, set your ratio to 100:1 and you'll be fairly safe. While the information in this video is mostly accurate, we believe that the presenters use of the words "exactly match" are overstated. Displays and papers have different gamuts and some paper/ink combinations can produce colors outside of the wide gamut display spectrum. Also, backlit and reflective don't always line up well and soft-proofing won't compensate for chormatic metamerisms (colors appearing different under various light sources) . Profiles create wonderful workflows, just don't trust them to be 100% perfect. Color management is based on science, but getting a great print is still an art-form.
For general use simply leave contrast ratio to its default "Native." Using a contrast limited profile may not be appropriate for general use or preparing files for web viewing.

great if you have money to burn on the i one pro are you joking
This is way too much for me
yea lets use a 3500 dollar i1 pro.
This is dated. I have never heard of anyone doing this!
