Calibrating the monitor is only one step in the process.
I suggest that you get the camera to print video tutorial Michael offers on this site.
It explains, in great detail, the process and the importance of printer profiling. I use the Spyder3Print software and spectrometer along with my Spyder for monitor calibration.
It is also essential to use a soft proofing workflow, explained in the video tutorial. Jeff, provides some insights into how to match the softproof image to the screen image since the print will be limited by the printer's color space.
Getting dark muddy prints relative to the screen image sounds about right for an uncalibrated setup.

Hi,
I'm using an Epson 3800 printer and the prints are nothing like my monitor which has been calibrated with a Spyer3 Elite. They seem dark/dull and the colours are not the same. I've checked every setting in PS and Qimage and they seem right but I'm still getting dull prints. My last resort now is to use professional printer profiles.
Is there anyone you recommend to have this done? Thanks.
