  • Overhead lighting above a printer?

    Posted by Karl Williams on September 11, 2009 at 10:13 pm

    My tube lights in the print room are giving me the wrong impression of colours when printing. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a lighting system I can fit that will give a close match to natural daylight?

    mine is spot on, the light in that room which i use to make sure the colours are correct its 5000kelvin bulbs ( i think )…

    This is my thread back in the day

    I did order them from AdrianH post

    Just googled around, hard to find again but spied 6300kelvin northlight which is okay but the target colour is 5000k. Some Expensive Studio light is 5000K.

    One of the best moves i did was ordering those tubes.

    oh just one other thing for anyone reading this… dont put 5000K bulbs in your normal office areas or working areas, they will give you headaches and illegal etc. Use Cool White for that.
