Monitor calibration - color temperature & Gamma, - some questions

[motionsync]

I try to calibrate my monitor so I can proff & color correct my photos before i send it to be print.

Untill now i have use a 6500 kelvin and gamma 2,2

Now when i use GretagMacbeths Eye One Match3 program to calibrate my monitor
i read that:
1. for proofing is better to have a 5000 kelvin color temperature on the monitor
2. For more details in the shadows a 1.8 gamma is better...

How you calibrate the monitor guys for best resultats?

The heavy part is not the colors of the details but the blues there is see offen big difference between original and print

My system is

Windows XP
Monitor : Samsung SyncMaster 900NF
GretagMacbeth Eye-One Display 2 calibrator

I print my Photos on Crimsons Labs
Lambis

Stay with 6500 K and gamma 2.2.

Your monitor works better with 6500 K than 5000 K. Gamma 1.8 is the old Apple standard, 2.2 is recommeded today (for Mac users users too).

Thanks Lars

I have calibrate on my monitor with as follow picture..


80 Luminance (becauce my Samsung is 4 years old and i dont think he can manage luminance 100 anymore)

The color temerature is 2700 (To low...must fixt it)

My Monitor contast is 100% & Brightness is 81%

My RGB controls and when I calibrate them it is: R96 G23 B50

THE PROBLEM IS FOLLOW

The Cyans and Blues on my photos are not hte same like on the prints

Cyans have to mutch saturation
Blues have magenta mixit in

Perhaps you need to calibrate your printer as well?
