I have a KDS Radius Rad 5 lcd monitor...I wanted to know the best
color temp for average everyday use and also for photo printing.

Hi.

Most people reckon that for photo editing the Monitor should be set to
6500K. It should also be calibrated using a hardware device like Eye One.

You additionally need to use the correct ICC profile for your Printer, Paper
and Ink Set in your Editing Program OR Printer, but not both.

I read up on Eye One...wondered if there was free auto calibration
software to automatically do the job...I'll set the icc profile for
the printer too..thanks
