Hi
I have a NEC PA 243W monitor, a Canon Pixma Pro 100 printer and using Windows 10 and Lightroom Classic latest version. Currently the monitor is calibrated using SprectraView ii to D65, Gamma 2.2, Intensity 100 cd/m and contrast ratio of 250:1. When I printed out a picture, it looked a little duller and the color of the grass was much yellower then what was showing on the screen though the colors looked great on the screen. I used an ICC profile for my paper and turned off color management to none. I have read that calibrating to D50 is a better match for printing. Also, I believe the screen is still a little brighter then the picture that was printed out. At this point I am not sure what settings I should be changing in order to get my prints to match what I am seeing on the screen. Should I change from D65 to D50 and bring down to intensity to 90?
If I am correct in this statement, I believe that you can no longer change the color space in Lightroom to sRGB or Adobe RGB for it only uses ProPhoto RGB. Then if that is the case, how are you suppose to use Adobe RGB for editing if you cannot change the color space in LR?
When you are using an ICC profile for your paper for print, what color management are you turning off - the printer or LR?
Thanking you so much in advance for any information and clarity that you might be able to provide.
