Narrative:
Flight out of teb departure. This was my first trip in 2 months, and I was a little behind. I had spent extra time reviewing and briefing myself and my copilot, and was particularly alert for small problems. I failed to notice that there was a discrepancy in settings between my EFIS altimeter and the standby one. My copilot did the preflight and cockpit setup, and I understood he had set the altimeter. I failed to xchk all of them. So, on departure when I hit 1500 ft and started the required turn, I not only went 200 ft high by my altimeter -- the actual altitude overshot was greater. Not good, as an understatement, with ewr traffic over top. I corrected altitude immediately, but didn't notice altimeter setting till intermediate level-off later. Nothing was said by ATC.

Narrative: FLT OUT OF TEB DEP. THIS WAS MY FIRST TRIP IN 2 MONTHS, AND I WAS A LITTLE BEHIND. I HAD SPENT EXTRA TIME REVIEWING AND BRIEFING MYSELF AND MY COPLT, AND WAS PARTICULARLY ALERT FOR SMALL PROBS. I FAILED TO NOTICE THAT THERE WAS A DISCREPANCY IN SETTINGS BTWN MY EFIS ALTIMETER AND THE STANDBY ONE. MY COPLT DID THE PREFLT AND COCKPIT SETUP, AND I UNDERSTOOD HE HAD SET THE ALTIMETER. I FAILED TO XCHK ALL OF THEM. SO, ON DEP WHEN I HIT 1500 FT AND STARTED THE REQUIRED TURN, I NOT ONLY WENT 200 FT HIGH BY MY ALTIMETER -- THE ACTUAL ALT OVERSHOT WAS GREATER. NOT GOOD, AS AN UNDERSTATEMENT, WITH EWR TFC OVER TOP. I CORRECTED ALT IMMEDIATELY, BUT DIDN'T NOTICE ALTIMETER SETTING TILL INTERMEDIATE LEVEL-OFF LATER. NOTHING WAS SAID BY ATC.
