Hi.

Most people reckon that for photo editing the Monitor should be set to
6500K. It should also be calibrated using a hardware device like Eye One.

You additionally need to use the correct ICC profile for your Printer, Paper
and Ink Set in your Editing Program OR Printer, but not both.

I read up on Eye One...wondered if there was free auto calibration
software to automatically do the job...I'll set the icc profile for
the printer too..thanks
