Author colour management with Iiyama Pro 454 CRT - which monitor profile?
Mark

Hi,

Didn't spot this in this groups FAQ or on the Iiyama site, so here
goes...

If I am using an Iiyama Vision Master Pro 454 CRT monitor in its sRGB
mode, which monitor profile do I set? Is it the IIyama HM903DT
profile, or a generic sRGB profile? The intent is to match to my
printer.

In a similar vein, which profile should I have my PC's graphics card
set to - sRGB or Iiyama?

Thanks,

Mark

Thanks for the explanation Hectate. I'll be investing in a
colorimeter.
