After all these years, using all kinds of monitors, Apple, HP, whatever, on all kinds of machines, with fucking $500 calibrating dongles n' light monitoring shit, and hours tweaking settings, I can surely say that at no point was I ever totally convinced I was working with accurate color.

- I've been designing print for a long time as well (28 years in Aug). I leave it up to the color department at the fine printer I'm working with. The photographers I work with are all over the place in how they provide their files.Josev
