(almost) Spring Color Tuneup!

This is clearly a case of the "cobbler's children...", but I've been struggling with my own printing lately, what with testing a billion color management systems, updating drivers, using several monitors... my profiles drifted, my printer settings got messed up. Even my Photoshop Color Settings needed to be looked at, since I'd been doing a bunch of different things, in different output workflows.

Sound familiar?

So, I sat down and got out the old trusty X-Rite i1Pro and ran a couple of monitor calibrations, after dumping some old, bad profiles from the Library. Then I sat down with my printer, the Epson R2400 and my new favorite paper, Ultra Premium Luster, and ran some nice profiles... I did some test prints, and I'm back on target. The prints I made to test the profiles were, well, yummy. My highest quality assurance rating.

While I was waiting for the ink to dry... literally... I had a thought. How many people are out there in the same boat? You get busy, you need to get the work out, and move on. Tweaking your color settings is about one step above organizing your sock drawer, that is, until it takes you three times as long to make a good print or proof.

So here's the deal. For a $150 flat fee, I come in, calibrate your display with my big, expensive i1 Pro. I check your Color Settings and your workflow to make sure it's the best it can be, for what you need to do. And I profile your favorite paper for you...

Besides getting you a little tune-up, and a chance to get some questions answered, it gets me out of the office for a bit...
