Hi Mike,

What are the results from "dispcal -R"?

I ask because one of the frequent causes of the "big pink" is that the
target whitepoint is too far away from the native whitepoint.

You might also find that the aimpoint for black is a little lower than the
monitors can actually reach; from memory, my (recently deceased) 454 would
reach .28 - .3 cdm^2 but go no lower.

Regards,

Derek
