Hello,
My prints are much darker than they look on the screen. I can futz around with brightness and get an acceptible looking print, but seems to miss the point of colour management
I am assuming it is colour management issue.
I use Photoshop Lightroom (1.3), and have a calibrated (spider pro) LCD, and an Epson 2200 printer. Enhanced Matte paper, Matte black ink
In the pre-lightroom era, my prints were fine, but now they are much darker than they appear on the screen.
My print process is:
- print using Lightroom
- Print Settings
o Enhanced Matte, 2880 DPI
o Color Management: ICM
o ICC profile: No Color Adjustment
- Lightroom Color Management
o Profile: SP2200 Enhanced Matte_MK
- "Print ..."
Retrieve the print out (too dark, curse, ligthen, repeat)
Anything I'm missing?
Note: The printer profile was downloaded directly from Epson some time ago when they released updated profiles for the 2200.
Thanks for any advice,
Sean
