Monitor Calibration

Why do I need monitor calibration?

Consider your computer screen as an extension of your eyes. The screen itself does not alter your image, however it does alter your judgment and hence the way you might alter colours or curves in Photoshop etc. A calibrated display will be completely neutral, so eye strain will be significantly reduced due to the absence of a colour cast together with a normally lowered brightness level resulting in longer monitor life. When you get your display calibrated by us we also provide FREE advise on your lighting conditions and display position and also throw in a few not so common Photoshop tips.

Monitor Colour Calibration Service

We can accurately calibrate both CRT and LCD screens (especially the Apple Mac LCD Displays), using our X-Rite i1 Pro Spectrophotometer. Our Monitor ICC profiles can be produced for both Apple Mac and PC computers.
Cost £25.00 VAT exempt. Site visit required. (Please see our Travel page above)

DIY Monitor Colour Calibration Service

We are now renting the X-Rite "Eye One Display 2" so you can do your own monitor calibration. The service is particular attractive if you live some distance from Sheffield as you avoid the Travel Charge. The "Eye One Display 2" produces excellent results and comes complete with software and very clear instructions. If you are unsure whether you are up to doing your own monitor, please contact us for advise or reassurance. Telephone Support, whilst you Calibrate your monitor, is included with this service. You don't get this Pro Service when you buy your own Monitor Calibrator! Once they have got your money you are essentially up the Yangtze without a paddle!
Cost £40.00 VAT exempt (Includes Postage Packing and Insurance, but not Return Postage)
