    Macbook calibration with Pantone Huey

    in The Digital Darkroom: Process, Technique & Printing

    Posted

    I am having exactly the same problems and observing the same behaviors with HueyPro.

     

    I am using the latest 1.5 software and here is what is happening:

     

    I have XPS m1210 laptop with glossy screen

    External BenQ FP91G+ monitor (matt)

     

    Huey behaves exactly the same with the built-in and external monitors - when calibrated with cable from top (suggested as standard procedure by Pantone) everything has a pretty strong magenta cast. When inverted up-side down and calibrated like that - everything has a strong green cast. When I stick Huey on the screens horizontally and calibrate in this position I get pretty neutral results that seem better that standard video card settings.

     

    I would assume that it has something to do with how the dichroic coating on huey's sensors works with being so close to LCD cells (colors change depending on the angle of convergence).

     

    I can definitely recommend trying different 90 deg. angle positions for calibration. Even if you are satisfied with the standard (hanging down) position results it might give you better results being upside down or sideways.

     

    Interesting post by the way.
