How to measure/set monitor brightness with specific reference

My prints come out dark; printing advice suggests the i-Mac monitor is quite bright and to set brightness at 120cd; however, the i-Mac brightness function only offers a 1-10 scale with no reference.  What is the equivalent of 120 on in i-Mac, or is there another function that allows me to specifically identify a 120cd setting?

What is the color profile of the image files that print dark?  If they are Adobe RGB that could be the reason as that profile does muddy up prints to ink jet printers.  Otherwise try calibration the monitor thru the color portion of that preference pane.
You might look at the printer settings as I have had more success in managing color thru them than adjusting the brightness of the monitor. What printer do you have?  What app are you printing from?

  • How to create  a test plan with specific transactions (or program)

    Hello,
    I'm a new user in Sol Man !
    How to create  a test plan with specific transactions (or program).
    In my Business Blueprint (SOLAR01) I've created in 'transaction tab' the name of my specific transactions and linked it.
    In my test plan (STWB_2) those specific doesn't appear to be selected !
    Thanks in advance.
    Georges HUYNEN

    Hi 
    In solar01 you have defined but you have to assign the test case in solar02 for this test case in the test cases tab.
    When you do so expand the business sceanario node in test plan generation of STWB_2 transaction and now that will appear.

  • How to measure a current signal with NI 6211?

    How to measure a current signal with NI 6211?

    Hi Clecio,
    This is a charge accelerometer. It is different from the IEPE accelerometers that outputs a voltage signal.
    You need a charge amplifier. Then according to the charge amplifier output we can select an appropriate module to measure the signal.
    It is not possible to measure charge accelerometers with NI 9234 directly.

    Which model of AirPort base station do you have? Which version of OS X is your MacBook Pro running?
    Wi-Fi access can be limited using the Timed Access feature of the AirPort routers. You would do so using the AirPort Utility.

  • How to make a spot swatch with specific name by using AppleScript?

    Hi there,
    I am trying to create a script in AppleScript to make a new spot color swatch that must be the COLOR TYPE : SPOT (with specific values). I've got it to make a global process color but can't seem to make a spot swatch. I'm using the script below :
    tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
        set docColorSpace to color space of document 1
        if (docColorSpace is CMYK) then
            set SpotColor to {cyan:100.0, magenta:0, yellow:0.0, black:0.0}
        else
            set SpotColor to {red:0.0, green:174.0, blue:239.0}
        end if
        make new spot in document 1 with properties {name:"ADHESIVE", color:SpotColor}
    end tell
    I did find an entry in an old forum that did this using javascript, however, I am not experienced with this at all and have no idea what or how to use it on a mac platform. This script is listed below.
    #target illustrator
    var docRef = app.activeDocument;
    var newCMYK = new CMYKColor();
    newCMYK.cyan = 100;
    newCMYK.magenta = 0;
    newCMYK.yellow = 0;
    newCMYK.black = 0;
    var thisSpot = docRef.spots.add();
    thisSpot.name = 'ADHESIVE';
    thisSpot.color = newCMYK;
    thisSpot.colorType = ColorModel.SPOT;
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    You are close but missing the last property listed in the JavaScript… It translates to… 'color type:spot color'
    tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
    set docColorSpace to color space of document 1
    if (docColorSpace is CMYK) then
    set SpotColor to {cyan:100.0, magenta:0, yellow:0.0, black:0.0}
    else
    set SpotColor to {red:0.0, green:174.0, blue:239.0}
    end if
    make new spot in document 1 with properties {name:"ADHESIVE", color:SpotColor, color type:spot color}
    end tell
    BTW… The use of JavaScript in the CS apps is more common because of its 'platform independence' There is a toolkit supplied along with the CS install.

  • How do I set up Kontakt with Mainstage 2?

    I'm new to mainstage. I love my kontakt plug ins and wanna use them in conjuction with Mainstage sounds and have the ability to add compression eq and all that stuff to it. How do I set up Kontakt to work in Mainstage?

    That depends on how you want to connect, and what iPad you have.
    Do you have a WiFi only iPad?
    If you are in the US, do you have a AT&T GSM iPad, or a Verizon CDMA iPad?

  • How do you set up TC with cable internet?

    I know this may sound ******** but if I have a coaxial cable coming out of my wall and the is no coaxial cable input on the TC, how do you set it up without using the crappy router I got from TW cable?  Is there a coaxial cable to ethernet adapter?

    but if I have a coaxial cable coming out of my wall and the is no coaxial cable input on the TC, how do you set it up without using the crappy router I got from TW cable?
    Suggest that you ask TW to provide you with a simple modem.....not a router. The TC is also a router. You don't need two routers and it just makes things more complicated.
    Is there a coaxial cable to ethernet adapter?
    No. You need to connect the coax cable to a modem. The modem provides an Ethernet signal to the TC.

  • How can I set family sharing with my mom living in Europe?

    hi, i just bought new iphone for my mom who is living in Europe and I wanted to set family sharing with her to share pictures but I can't because I live in USA ... is there any way how to set it? Thanx

    Seeing how itunes store is not international, cause every locale has to comply with different set of laws - you probably can't use family sharing feature, but you can use photosharing.

  • How to correctly set puppet attributes with AppD?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to add a value to a puppet attribute within AppD. The value is an array and should look something like this ['ntp1.testlab.local'] for puppet to work. The problem is after AppD processes it, it ends up looking like this '["ntp1.testlab.local"]' in the node's manifest, which doesn't work. I've tried several variations with no joy. Can anyone please show me how to correctly set puppet variables within AppD?
    From the node manifest created by AppD:
    [root@ar-syslog-tlab-01 appd_nodes]# grep "Puppet_ntp_v3_1_2_servers =" /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/manifests/appd_nodes/CentOS-LON4FRQT.pp
      $Puppet_ntp_v3_1_2_servers = '["ntp1.testab.local"]'
    From stdout and stderr log available on VM at /tmp/25/CG_Puppet_ntp_v3.1.2_AI-REMEDIATE_NODE/task.stdlog.
    - !ruby/object:Puppet::Util::Log
          level: !ruby/sym err
          tags:
            - err
          message: "Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Could not parse for environment production: Syntax error at '['; expected ']' at /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/manifests/appd_nodes/CentOS-IEU4RJWH.pp:17 on node centos-lon4frqt"
          source: Puppet
    If I edit the node's manifest to read
           $Puppet_ntp_v3_1_2_servers = [ 'ntp1.testab.local' ]
    it works fine.
    Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    If it is a bug, you maybe have a workaround by adding a script task in the execution plan the Blueprint as the first task to edit /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/manifests/appd_nodes/CentOS-LON4FRQT.pp to modify the value of $Puppet_ntp_v3_1_2_servers, and then the rest tasks will get the correct value format for $Puppet_ntp_v3_1_2_servers.

  • How do I set up iPad with airport express to stream music to stereo without internet connection?

    how do i set up iPad and airport express to stream music to stereo without using internet connection.

    Your 4th gen iPad does have the necessary software to connect to the AirPort Express but not to administer it. To do the later, you would need to install the AirPort Utility applet.
    You said that your iPad can "see" the AirPort's wireless network, but can't connect. What happens exactly when you attempt to do so? Do any of your other wireless devices have any trouble connecting to the Express? Did you configure the Express for a closed network ... that is, not to broadcast its Network Name?
