My shop's color matching was off for months until I got a new light box

We were using an old fluorescent setup in the back room and client proofs kept coming back wrong, especially with dark blues and purples. I bought a Just Normlicht LED Color Match light box for about $400 last month and the difference is crazy. Now the prints match the screen proof almost perfectly, which has cut our reprint rate in half. Has anyone else found that good lighting fixed a big quality issue for them?

Our old warehouse lights made every print look green.

Oh man, that's the key. The real fix is calibrating your monitor to match the new light box.

Yeah because I have a colorimeter just sitting around. Let me grab that real quick.
