Me, my client and calibration

[3ddesign]

The solution is really quite simple. First, make sure your monitor is calibrated correctly. I use the Spyder2Pro. Next, get any suitable electronic calibration target and make two good quality prints, making sure they match your monitor very closely. Send the electronic target and one of the printed targets to your client. Tell your client to adjust his monitor so the electronic target on his screen matches his print.

Each time you send an image, include that target in the electronic file to remind him to compare it to his print.

There are a bunch of good targets on the Internet. Here are a few:

If this is a client you want to work with a lot you may need to go into their office and make sure that they have a matching screen. Bring in a print and make sure it matches what they have on their screen. Otherwise you won't know that they are seeing what you see.
