[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 378932, member: 12496"] Printing is a reason but not the only reason. The calibration kit choices have more expensive options to also calibrate your printer (fairly unimportant if you don't print images there). The reason to calibrate your monitor is to show your images on your screen in a proper standardized way, so you will adjust them more correctly, so that your printer, and the online printing service, and your posted and emailed images, look to others like you see them too. If all your images are adjusted when you see them too bright, others with more accurate gear will see them too dim. Including your printing. I suppose one downside, if your monitor is calibrated, and you email pictures of the kids to your mom, and her monitor is bright (most seem to be), she will see them more dim. But... she should be used to it. [/QUOTE]
