I am sure this has discussed before but... I am about to recalibrate my monitor and I was wondering what white point I should calibrate to - if I recall the two options are 5000K (or is it 5500K) or 6500K with the Spyder 2Pro. I print on an Epson 2200 (if that makes any difference). Thanks in advance!!!

I use 6500K on my monitor. 5000K feels too warm/yellow to my taste.

Ditto Guy's comment...5000K should be neutral but actually it looks too warm (on my monitor).
