I just re-watched Ian Van der Wolde’s webinar on monitor calibration. It was most informative thankyou> However the following question cam to me after watching.
In regard to white point setting. Ian stated the Benq monitors are recommended to be set at D65 for photography. The printer I use for Photo printing photo books ( Momento pro) has recommended a setting of D50.(?) Ian mentioned this is the standard for printing.
My question is what white point setting would you recommend for the most accurate colour representation? I have ICC profiles from the printer for soft proofing that I use with Adobe Photoshop.
Thankyou in advance for your response.
