last night I had some time to once again look at some pictures, I
noticed that the yellow were nicer on the hp2605 monitor and that in
comparison the dell 2408WFP looked decidedly dull. I now have the
printer matching what I see on the screen of the dell. However it
doesn't display the nice yellow that I see on the HP and hence this is
not shown in the print. However the purples don't display correctly on
the HP.
The dell has a wide gamut range and was almost dayglo when I first got
it, now though I have set the default profile to RGB it is tamed but a
little dull. I print using an epson R2880 and I am wondering if I should
convert my workflow to adobe RGB to get the wider range from the monitor
OR is having a wide gamut monitor a complete wast of time as the printer
can't print the extra colours and the web doesn't display them.
Maybe a better option is to forget colour accuracy on the Dell and try
set the HP to match the printer. I have spent quite a few hours
googling and calibrating both monitors and I really would like to get on
with enjoying the pictures or more importantly the prints, but I don't
want to feel I am missing out on something like extra colours.
Help!
