Monitor Calibration
Hi Saphire, As I said I use a Colorvision Spyder2 on my monitor - it was last done two days ago. I have been to Don's link for the greyscale and dragged it over the greys on this site. They show through and read as follows:
Light grey merges in between f/g;
Middle grey merges in between l/m;
and dark grey merges in between r/s.
I have to say that a device like the Spyder that calibrates the monitor and creates an equivalent profile for a variety of printers helps save photo paper and also ensures you print what you see on the screen. I reset mine every fortnight and I really don't know if it is worth trying to do this on the cheap. I get a full range of greys from brilliant white to darkest black and I was never able to get that manually. When printing I always had to increase brightness by about 25-30% and now it sorts itself out automatically.
