 Doing by eye isn't a bad thing when you're setting up your own screen. You can tailor the screen to your projector, setting, and personal preferences. We deal more with making recommendations across a wide range of projectors, so having a screen that we know will work equally as well with projector A as with projector B is an important factor
I've seen some DIY screens (even some commercial screens for that matter) where the developer obviously preferred a cooler image so their screen was a bit biased towards cool (blue), or some that were a warm screen. Then I've seen some people rave, while other's loathed the screen. If a screen is cool and a person prefers a warm image, then of course they aren't going to be happy with it. |
So true...I've always leaned towards a more cooler screen and have made them accordingly..
I'm hoping to keep this new design more neutral so it will be suitable for a wider range of applications..

Also if we can get the materials that you use I'm sure mech will do some readings on it for you.

This is one of the things I'm trying to achieve...To try and standardize the various paints and mediums, so that they can be purchased almost anywhere..
Silver has been the biggest problem with all the variations that have been used, such as Harps silver in the C&S mix, being available only in the US from just one store..
In this new formula, I'm using two different silvers, which won't be all that difficult to find and won't need to exactly the same to achieve the desired effect..
In this application, the silver will only be a secondary reflective element, not the main reflector..
