Is Your Monitor Calibrated

[Marko]

I used a friend's tool to calibrate mine...but my computer crashed recently and now I need to do it again.

Monitor calibration is an important part of digital print creation especially when you want consistent results and especially when you are being paid and you are printing your own work. Depending on the brand and type of monitor you have calibration should be done and redone regularly.

Other tips include the fact that depending on the type, a monitor's profile changes as the monitor warms up so that is yet another factor to be aware of

For occasional posting on websites it may not be the biggest deal if it's not 99% accurate - but it still helps if you want to spend some bucks on a calibration tool.

There are also basic tricks like being able to see all the tones in colour and black and white swatches like this one for example.
