At last week’s meeting, we calibrated our projector to give accurate colours.  We used the club’s X-Rite ColorMunki which is works on Windows 10 and 11. The packaging says it works on Mac OS 10 and above.  Datacolor also make a similar device.

From X-Rite’s website we did this  because “Our eyes are very adaptive and influenced by many factors. If you work on an un-calibrated monitor, you can’t trust the colors you see on-screen. You need a display colorimeter to create an ICC profile to render accurate color for the best reproduction on-screen. ICC profiles are used to achieve color consistency between different devices, such as monitor to printer match.”

To answer questions raised whilst we did this, the calibration is for the projector however the results are saved on the club laptop.  For your images to look the same at home and at the club, you should calibrate your display at home, and you can use the clubs ColorMunki to do this.  Note that there may still be difference due to brightness especially as you may view your images at home in different ambient light.

For more information, have a look at the X-Rite website or the Datacolor website
