Select Calibration Values

Select a gamut and input target values for brightness, color temperature, and gamma. 

Color parameters can be adjusted as follows:

Brightness: 60 – 160 cd/m² in 10 cd/m² increments.
Color temperature: 5,000 K – 6,500 K in 100 K increments.
Gamut*: Monitor native, Adobe RGB, or sRGB.
Gamma: 1.8 to 2.4 in 0.2 increments (varies by model).

*Gamut adjustment is only available for The FlexScan SX series except with the FlexScan SX3031W.

Calibration Results

When calibration is finished, the results are displayed on the screen. You can name your profile in the “Adjustment Name” box.

Fine Tuning and Readjusting (Recalibrating)

If necessary, you can fine-tune the brightness and color manually by selecting “Finely Adjust.”

You can also set EasyPIX to remind you to recalibrate your monitor after a specified number of hours have elapsed (not shown) and then recalibrate your monitor to the same settings by selecting “Readjust.”

EasyPIX can also be used for simple color matching between your prints and monitor either through paper white measurement or through visual perception. Both are explained below.

Color Matching Through Paper White Measurement

Hold the EX1 sensor about 25 cm away from the paper you will use for printing.

The white of the digital paper in the middle of your screen will change to match the white of your printing paper. If further adjustments to the white paper on the screen are required, you can tweak the monitor’s color and brightness manually before calibrating.

Color Matching through Visual Perception

Adjust the color and brightness of your monitor to match the white of your printing paper.

Calibration

Whether you use the paper white measurement function or color match through visual perception, you calibrate the monitor with EIZO’s EX1 sensor and create a profile.

Color Matching Achieved

Once you’ve created a profile for your monitor, you can share it with your retouching software. The color of your photo prints should match those displayed on your monitor.

Two additional modes are also available. Photo Viewing Mode sets the monitor’s color temperature to 5500 K, a common default setting at which many digital cameras take photos. It also lets you adjust the monitor’s brightness.

Web Viewing Mode is ideal for previewing how others will see your photos when shared online. Web Viewing mode’s 6500 K default color temperature is the same as most web browsers. Or, adjust the brightness manually for greater control.

When color matching with ink jet printers, you can get better results in"Matching Mode" by applying the correct color management settings in your image retouching software.
