How often should you recalibrate?
Monitors drift. Lighting conditions shift. Output requirements change between projects.
Datacolor recommends recalibrating any time your output changes β new printer, new delivery format, new client standard β or whenever your lighting environment changes significantly. It doesnβt have to be on a fixed schedule. Just when the conditions that affect your color actually change.
The good news: it only takes 90 seconds. So there's no reason to keep editing on a profile that no longer reflects your setup.
Save this and set a reminder in your Spyder software for your recalibration. πποΈ
