I do not have an issue with monitor calibration or print matching. My prints match the monitor pretty well. My issue is that until I see the print (on paper), especially away from the monitor do I notice color casts or other issues. So I'm looking for an effective, efficient and cost effective way to print a proof.
If I'm making a 16x20 print, I don't want to make a 16x20 proof. Should I print the whole image smaller or should I print a smaller section of the image at the same size it will print when printing the image?
Or if you have some tips on how to SEE the problems on the monitor, then that would be great. Soft proofing has not been the answer.
