Computer Screen Color Calibration for Dummies

If you have been taking digital pictures for more than a year, you probably have already mastered red eye correction, horizon alignment, uploading photos and email attachment. If you have become concerned that the colors of the images printed on your inkjet printer are not the colors you see on the computer screen (CRT or LCD), you are now ready for a color calibration device.

The Huey is amazingly small and appears quite simple causing disbelief that this device will calibrate you screen. But rest assured it really works. You load the software, plug the wand into a USB port, start the software, follow the instruction and abracadabra you screen is color calibrated.

Following installation I reset the color management on my Epson 2200 printer to duplicate the colors on my screen using ICM protocol. The first 11x14 color print was perfect.

You will know when the time is to buy this device when your bill for wasted photo paper (not cheap) and printer ink (not cheap either) approach the cost of the device.
