Calibrating Your Artisan
TM
System
Preparing Your System for Calibration
1
Make sure that your color settings are set to "millions" or at least 16-bit color.
2
Make sure your display is set to "Professional" mode. To do this, press the "Picture Effect" button on the front of your GDM-C520
display until the on-screen display shows the text "Professional".
3
Warm your display up by leaving the display on and displaying a relatively bright screen (over 50% white) for at least an hour before
calibration.
4
Make sure that the Artisan
TM
Sensor is connected to one of your computer's USB ports.
5
Lower the light in the room to under 64 lux. Ideally, the ambient light level should be approximately 16 lux.
