h8 moving my head

I'm just a hobbyist but printing from the iMac to my Epson has always been pretty good w/ soft proofing, even w/o profiling the iMac screen (which I keep meaning to do since the profiler setups are rentable now)

You can buy the cheapest colormunki or even the xrite eye1 display for not too much money. For the printer if you want to beyond canned profiles, there are services that send you a file and instructions on how to print it, the you send it back to them and they supply you with the icc profile if that specific combo of paper and your printer.

Though I'd go for colormunki display over smile.

I have fond memories of working with a graphic designer-turned-web developer. His office was next to the plotter people used for posters, and at least once he walked by to notice some wrong-colored abomination, emailed whoever printed it, and did color correction for them.

What's the nicer bit of kit - the iPhone 6s or the SE? I have a 5c now and like the size but could contemplate going up although I'm short and have quite small hands.

Heavy Doors (jed_), Wednesday, 15 February 2017 22:25 (seven years ago) link

6 screen space is appreciable but you lose the small form factor of the 5.

calstars, Wednesday, 15 February 2017 22:30 (seven years ago) link

Just like their laptops.

I'm noticing a trend here.

calstars, Wednesday, 15 February 2017 22:31 (seven years ago) link

se's size is absolutely perfect imo

Clay, Wednesday, 15 February 2017 22:56 (seven years ago) link

Yeah I think I agree. The 5c is my favourite iPhone I've owned. And I e said before that I think it's the best looking iPhone they ever made, but its on its last legs.

Heavy Doors (jed_), Wednesday, 15 February 2017 23:20 (seven years ago) link

I've said, rather.

Heavy Doors (jed_), Wednesday, 15 February 2017 23:21 (seven years ago) link

Agree that 5s and SE look and feel best but once you go to larger screen it's hard to imagine going back. The pluses are a step too far for me but the 6 is good for my failing eyes.

Alba, Thursday, 16 February 2017 07:56 (seven years ago) link

ya this is the problem i'm running into now, my boyfriend has a 6S+ and it's definitely too big, but then going back to using my phone whenever I use his feels definitely too small

agree. as long as they continue to make a phone that size i will continue to buy it

marcos, Thursday, 16 February 2017 15:16 (seven years ago) link

5c is a nice looking phone imo

marcos, Thursday, 16 February 2017 15:16 (seven years ago) link

I was thisclose to getting some airpods other day but I talked myself off the ledge by remembering that the only reason I was allowing myself to think about it waas because a .02c rubber tip had come off my perfectly serviceable earbuds. I AM sick of untangling them though. and the amplified wire bumps and jiggles are awful.

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 16 February 2017 15:17 (seven years ago) link

I got the Power Beats 3. They're great.

Jeff, Thursday, 16 February 2017 15:18 (seven years ago) link

ok I admit it I have both airpods and powerbeats 3

shoot me

mh 😏, Thursday, 16 February 2017 15:21 (seven years ago) link

I AM sick of untangling them though

one of life's most annoying small displeasures

marcos, Thursday, 16 February 2017 15:22 (seven years ago) link

id would certainly lose airpods if i had them

marcos, Thursday, 16 February 2017 15:23 (seven years ago) link

you can pretend you're carrying dental floss around because the case looks exactly like a dental floss case

mh 😏, Thursday, 16 February 2017 15:24 (seven years ago) link

Yeah, no need to get airpods just because you're sick of wired headphones.

I have these and they're great

Alba, Thursday, 16 February 2017 17:00 (seven years ago) link

xp hahaha yeah i asked a coworker if he was going to go floss his teeth and it turned out it was the airpod case. interesting that the case also has a battery which charges pods

just another (diamonddave85), Thursday, 16 February 2017 17:26 (seven years ago) link

incremental storage upgrade of iphone SE means we probably won't see a new iphone SE huh

, Wednesday, 22 March 2017 12:45 (seven years ago) link

I really need to upgrade my old broken iPad 3 but I'm now confused by the different formats and variants

licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Wednesday, 22 March 2017 13:57 (seven years ago) link

iPad Air 2

Not the real Tombot (El Tomboto), Wednesday, 22 March 2017 14:00 (seven years ago) link

isn't the new iPad which seems to be just called iPad supposed to be cheaper & better?

( X '____' )/ (zappi), Wednesday, 22 March 2017 14:13 (seven years ago) link

cheaper, not necessarily better

stet, Wednesday, 22 March 2017 14:17 (seven years ago) link

it's a not quite as good iPad Pro afaict

which is probably still pretty damn good, that smaller iPad Pro is one of the nicest electronic devices I've ever owned

mh 😏, Wednesday, 22 March 2017 14:18 (seven years ago) link

well I meant cheaper & better than iPad Air 2, its effectively an Air 3

( X '____' )/ (zappi), Wednesday, 22 March 2017 14:23 (seven years ago) link

Yeah, that's what I meant too -- the screen is worse than the Air 2, and it's fractionally thicker. Don't know about memory specs either, wouldn't be beyond them to scrimp on that. There's always a shoe to drop with Apple these days

stet, Wednesday, 22 March 2017 14:25 (seven years ago) link

that sucks

*scribbles away on iPad Pro*

mh 😏, Wednesday, 22 March 2017 14:41 (seven years ago) link

new "ipad" screen is worse than Air 2?! urgh

licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Wednesday, 22 March 2017 15:00 (seven years ago) link

wait wtf how many different iPads are currently being sold????

Fluffy Saint-Bernard (Stevie D(eux)), Wednesday, 22 March 2017 15:59 (seven years ago) link

this release actually consolidates the lineup, if you can believe it

, Wednesday, 22 March 2017 16:01 (seven years ago) link

new iPad screen seems to be the same features as iPad Air 1, so in practice, pretty much the same as all the other retina screens.

Spencer Chow, Wednesday, 22 March 2017 22:20 (seven years ago) link

what makes the 2017 iPad a step down from the iPad Air 2?

Fluffy Saint-Bernard (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 23 March 2017 01:33 (seven years ago) link

so let me get this straight there is now iPad Regular and iPad Pro, easy peasy, no more air? but for a while they had Airs but no Regulars???

Fluffy Saint-Bernard (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 23 March 2017 01:34 (seven years ago) link

If was just a name. A confusing one. There's now iPad Pro, iPad (not air) and iPad mini. The iPad Pro comes in two sizes though, so I suppose there are 4 really.

Heavy Doors (jed_), Thursday, 23 March 2017 01:55 (seven years ago) link

There used to be iPad mini 2 and iPad mini 4 too

, Thursday, 23 March 2017 02:00 (seven years ago) link

Yes there was no consistency, at least now it's fairly clear what each machine is for.

Heavy Doors (jed_), Thursday, 23 March 2017 03:07 (seven years ago) link

I like my iPad Air 2 a lot, although when I'm not actually using it I do tend to think about how I really preferred the form factor of my old iPad Mini and I think I could be happier with the iPad Pro that's the exact same size but has the better speakers and processor etc. I'm disloyal.

Not the real Tombot (El Tomboto), Thursday, 23 March 2017 03:56 (seven years ago) link

So basically just buy whichever but just know that you'll still die wondering

Not the real Tombot (El Tomboto), Thursday, 23 March 2017 03:57 (seven years ago) link

everyone wants to see that thing

Nhex, Thursday, 23 March 2017 04:01 (seven years ago) link

I have similar agitata with the 6 plus / SE
