Finally bought a $90 screen calibration tool for my digital paintings
My prints were coming out super dark and muddy, but now the colors match perfectly. Anyone have tips for keeping the calibration accurate over time?

Oh man, I feel your pain on the muddy prints. I went through a whole batch of holiday cards that looked like they were done in charcoal instead of color. That tool is a lifesaver. I just make sure to let my monitor warm up for a good half hour before I do any serious work, and I re-check the calibration every month or so. It seems to drift a tiny bit over time, especially with cheaper screens.

My buddy learned that lesson the hard way with some wedding photos. His prints came back with everyone looking a bit orange and he was so confused. A proper calibration fixed it completely.
