Printing on an Epson 9000. CS4 Windows, Lacie Electron Blue CRT, calibrated.
When printing properly exposed or lightened prints, print colour matches the screen. When I underexpose or use a polarizing filter prints appear about 1.5 stops darker than the screen. It is not simply that the blue of the sky is rendered in this fashion but the entire subject is. I shoot some local theatre, without filters, which is largely a black background. When I print a theatre shot, the highlights reflect what I see on the screen.
This is consistent regardless of paper type or profile. For whatever reason it would seem only dark blues and blue-greens will print darker, not only in that colour spectrum, but across the colours of the entire print.
Any suggestions as to a solution?
