I read the earlier post on the same topic and hoped it would solve my problem, but it didn't .
I am experiencing dark prints from my Epson 2880 using LR 3 or CS3 and Snow Leopard. I have been a very successful printer with the 2880 and a 3800 in the past (monitor calibration, etc.) for sale and for gallery shows.
Until now. (I can't test Snow Leopard on the 3800 because I am in Mexico and the 3800 is not.)
All of the prints are coming out 1.5 to 2 exposure values darker than the image on my monitor. I didn't load the Apple Driver update. I trashed all related Epson software and reloaded the new driver today.
Printing through LR 3 is a definite improvement, although it is not spot on with what I see on the monitor. Maybe 1/2 EV darker.
I'm am stumped.
Help!
