In the previous article (part 1), the procedure for setting the computer screen was discussed by using Adobe Gamma in the control panel. Adobe Gamma is also found on the drive where the system is installed. Click on Program Files > Common Files > Adobe > Calibration > Adobe Gamma.cpl. Double click to launch the gamma control wizard. On a Macintosh the Apple Calibration Utility can be used.

The merits of using ink jet printers were also discussed. Merits include low cost (though costs escalate with the purchase of cartridges), high quality prints from any application, and the technology of a fine spray with higher image resolution as opposed to a laser jet printer and Tektronix Phasers (these printers separate images into dots at compromised resolutions).
