Evaluating of selected systems for colorimetric calibration of LCD monitors

Abstract

In many applications there is a need for exact colour reproduction. The common solution of this problem is the usage of an open Colour Management System and device profiles. The profiles are determined in a colorimetric calibration process, so the quality of this process influences colour reproduction quality. The aim of this work was to evaluate the colour reproduction quality of monitors depending on used types of monitor and calibration system. Obtained results show that colour reproduction strongly depends on those devices and good results can be achieved even on a monitor not designed for colour critical works. However, in case where exact colour reproduction is crucial the use of a professional-grade graphical monitor is necessary.
