[QUOTE="chappers, post: 1322876, member: 77473"] It's not true that iMacs are difficult to calibrate. You can calibrate and iMac screen as you can any other monitor provided you have the correct tools. I have been using both Mac and PC driven monitors for over 20 years and have been able to calibrate them without too much problem. I currently own a 27" iMac which is calibrated and provides good screen to print match. Straight out of the box the Imac monitor is far to bright. Not unusual in the wold of PC's either. To correctly calibrate the monitor you need a calibration tool and software. Devices such as the Spyder3 and Pantone Huey will do this for you. They are not cheap but if you need a calibrated screenthey are essential. Initially you could simply drop the brightness level. You can do this within Sys Prefs. Try moving the slider to approximately half way. Depending on what software you are using setting up the printer can vary. Initially I would leave the printer to control the colour and see how well it works with the screen brightness reduced. [/QUOTE]
