---- Monitor Calibration

We have a small web design firm with a few different artists and about 8 computers in the office.

We recently installed PANTONE'S huey to correct the colors on our monitors so that we are producing sites with accurate color. It seems to work great on the three computers we installed it on, but there's one problem....

Our boss will not convert. She is "positive" that the rest of the world's computers display colors the way hers does, and that the huey has screwed our colors up.

I've explained to her my understanding, which is that the huey calibrates our colors to display accurately, and that ALL monitors are off, some more than others. At least with ours calibrated correctly, we will be somewhere in the middle, with our sites looking the best on the more accurate displays.

I know, of course, that the bottom line is pleasing our clients, and there will be many times that we have to change colors based upon what they are seeing on their computers.

I would like to hear other's experience with this issue, and I will sureley get the boss to check out the thread. Thanks.
