Thanks Mark, the printer lesson would be great. Hope you are feeling better after your Injury.

Most digital photo labs, including AdoramaPix, offer profiles for their printers, which are available for free online.
I use a pro NEC monitor and I use their own system. My printer is a Epson 3880 and my colors look very good after the first test run. I tend to adjust the brightness a bit on the second print. I find no matter what calibration system you use you are going to always tweak your print a bit before your final print.
Thanks Mark. You do a good job keeping it simple but concise.
Love your work/tutorials. I would be interested in viewing a video on how to choose the correct printer color profile. Keep rockin' it my man!
Thanks
Just FYI- as I understand it, the main difference between the ColorMunki and i1 product lines is that i1 has a glass lens, while ColorMunki uses a plastic lens which will likely deteriorate over time and eventually yield inaccurate measurements.
Excellent tutorial. I have wanted to get this but afraid I would be fumbling around trying to figure out how it works. Very clear..Ordering one now. Thanks.
Yes Mark we want to know how to print using a proper color profile. Thanks
Great video. You have the uncanny ability to provide a video for exactly what I need at the moment! ESP - Extra Sensory Photography? Thanks, Mark.
DEFINITELY do a print calibration episode, please.
Thanks Mark, would really like to see a continued video on printer and paper settings.
Always like to watch Mark do funny stuff on the bloopers at the end of each episode. XD
8AM and I've already learned something new today
Learning has occurred!
I recommend the X-Rite i1 Display Pro.
great video ... and YES i would LOVE to see a video teatching how to chose the printer color profile... that would be also great ...
Thanks... great movies....
Does it matter if you have two displays? Would you follow the same process and would it match up both the monitors together?
Thanks Mark, great video as always!
Ideally yes, but most affordable LCD monitors (including laptop monitors) become really inconsistent when they're turned down that low. If you have a high-end Eizo, LaCie or something of that calibre (some NECs and Dells, for instance, live in that territory) go for it, but for consumer and laptop monitors 120 is a better compromise among brightness, straight-line gamma and consistent backlight across the screen. Your prints still won't disappoint.
Can you please up date this please and do a nother as this is quite old, what is the best and what you would recommend for pro to the guys that are just starting photography
That's a pretty complicated discussion. I covered it in about 2 hours during my first creativeLIVE workshop. You may want to track that down. :)
Easy! Well explained and soooo important.
Yes next video
Thanks for the tutorial Mark!
and its already 2017 since 2013
I would love to know what printers, in your opinion, works best for enthusiast and how to calibrate it as well. Thanks, your teaching has helped my photography.
Mark it would be great if you make a video about how correctly change RGB to CMYK to keep the colors same in CMYK as it was in RGB
Would really like to see the print calibration video!
Great video! Learned a lot
Hey, it's better than living in the past! :-)
pliz do the next video on calibrating the print technique
Thank you a lot Mark that so great totorial, i just would like to ask if it will work in my case as i have a laptop and extended the screen on another monitor, how it will work then?
Please do a printing profile video thanks
Mark;
Have you set your paper profile inside Photoshop, & then checked to see with soft proofing what the results will look like? Also, don't forget to turn off or bypass the printer's profile in favor of the PS settings.

This has come up often today in comments on many videos, more likely UA-cam -or you end.
Hi, good info. and review. The issue is that I have is I use a HD flatscreen TV (Samsung) hooked up to my computer via HDMI. Would I be able to calibrate the TV using this device or something similar? Thank you.
Yes please on the printer calibration video!
Hi Mark
How about the Colormunki X-Rite Smile Monitor Calibrator? is it good enough or should i go for the Munki for calibrating my screen?
wow !!! did you calibrate you monitor next week?
the luminance isn't suppose to be around 80 cd/m2 for printing?
Do I need to calibrate as well if my monitors are "pretty good" to begin with and I'm display my photo's just on the web?
i have a monitor calibrator coming in later in the week. i hould lone to know more a about printer color profile.
Mark, how much does the angle of view you're looking at your laptop screen impact the brightness and color? I notice when I change the angle of view the photo will look brighter or darker. How do I know what the correct angle of view I should use? Thanks for the great videos.
Hi Chris, in the meantime, you can check out (adorama(dot)com/alc/0008213/article/Advanced-Digital-Printing-Take-Control), a great article on printer calibration.
In the animation it's said that the light projected from the monitor is constant regardless of ambient light, than why do i need to measure it ?
Help :)! I get an achieved luminance of 8cdm. My whitepoint is ok but the luminance is soooo low. I did a reset of my monitor before calibrating. Settings where used as in this video.
I have a dual monitor system at home. Would the X-Rite ColorMunki calibrate both of those? or just the main monitor? Thanks for all the videos! A great distraction from my day job.
hey mark i was looking into getting a new calibration tool but i was wondering do you think i should wait for them to update to the new 4k bt 2020 icc or do you think they can expand the gamut purely through firmware / software updates?
Mark I really do enjoy your videos (tutorials). I do calibrate my monitor, but it gets a little confusing with the HP Software in synching in the correct .icc profile. Maybe you can address this question: Even after calibrating my monitor my prints turn out dull, dark and lifeless, but if I go into Photoshop and add a "Levels" correction (meaning taking the white slider and matching it up with the start of the peak), then my pictures better. Why am I having to do this?
how about those dont have printing machines(printer) in there homes and they only pay in photo studios to develop thier pictures,how would they calibrate thier photos to match the studios printer?
Does this works on HDtvs? I use a 40 inch tv 1080p to edit

Does this work well with the new Imac? I want premium color accuracy to make professional prints with my Epson Stylus Photo R3000 Inkjet Printer.
Nice tut, I too would love to see part two, printercalib. Would you know if those devices support Linux
I'm kindof trusing Windows 7 calibration and my eyes, since I don't have the cash for these devices.. my printer is an Epson Stylus Photo PX660, and it does a spectacular job.. sometimes my prints look better than what's on my screen. :)
Hey there mark. I'm having problems when seeing my pictures on different screens, i edit my pics in a macbook pro mid 2012 and some, just some of the pictures when seeing in other computers the color don't match what i supposely did....does this screen calibration applies for the same porpouse here?
Sir Mark Wallace I really Liked This Video Of Yours And Me And My Bro Has Decided To Buy This Product. But Can You Please Show Us How To Calibrate A Printer Like Epson Picture Mate 245 Mini Model Which I Use In My Small Studio or Any Other Large Printers. And I Also Want To Know That Is It Possible That I Can Use The X-rite i1 Display Pro For My Epson Mini Printer For A Better Photo Quality Prints For Both Passport And 6x4 inch Size Prints, Or Should I Look Forward For Any Other Options.
Can not hear on my laptop with all volumes 100 please record audio louder. looks like aa grat video but can not hear it.

Mark, it's only 9-10-2013 today.
Datacolor spyder5 elite
Set up incomplete. Connect to the Internet..
Guys please help me to fix this problem. I thought it can install even without internet connection. My laptop is Dell corei5 windows 10
Can you do the printer profiles Last week please :)
Did you record this in the future??? ;-)
Hey Mark, why does my profile not hold when I use my laptop on the battery ?
Check that when you're on battery power it is not automatically changing your screen brightness etc. Most have a "power saver" mode when on battery and it will change the screens settings. Don't know if this is the issue, but something worth looking at :)
Hi
great video, thanks.
Are you living in the future by the way 9-15-13 ?
Cheers
CCFL is Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp
Woooowwwwww X-Rite i1Photo Pro 2 price is 1,550 euro !!!
hi marc wallace, i want to know how to calibrate my monitor without those equipment, i dont have the money to buy those equipment, please give us a DIY Method or very easy method.. please!! like old school!
Hi, This video is produced by Adorama, A shop! The whole idea of these lessons is to SELL you the equipment. But I am with you otherwise...
mogbaba actually the device sells it self. Adorama doesnt have to upsell it to you. Its an excellent product. Great for those who are serious about photography.
Ha ha. I always get my months mixed up. 8, 9.. whatever it takes. ;)
:P
catch that too :D
Really though, seriously -how much green salsa diiiiid you eat?? ;) haha
i don't like these color calibrating things, sure they help you once, but the rest is bullshit.
for example they only let you calibrate 1 monitor (the "cheap" ones anyway) so you can't split the cost with a buddy and why in the world would you want to or need to recalibrate it ? i manually adjusted mine 3 years ago and guess what, the settings stayed the same !!!
You must have a lot of free time Mark, to recalibrate your monitor every week and i' pretty sure you have more then 1 of them.
