I did the Spyder calibration bit. Then discovered the ambient lighting in the room and time of day etc influenced screen appearance to the point that you are 'supposed' to have different profiles to suit. I ended up with spring morning, spring afternoon, winter morning, winter afternoon...and an evening profile. I was continually forgetting to reset the screen to match the time of day/ year...never got any complaints from my customers that their printing was off-colour. So I sold the Spyder. Modern quality monitors are pretty accurate out of the box.


Close the curtains.
It concentrates the mind and also removes stray light.
