Title: Color matching between Lcc and Epson printer
Post by: mtakeda on November 25, 2022, 06:44:27 pm
Once again the color in print is darker and black overtone and it was fine until yesterday. My question is obviously what to to to remedy. How can I prevent this? I also wonder there maybe less stressful way of enjoying the images. I am about giving up printing as this happened more than a few times in the last three years or so. Any advice or comments are appreciated.

I want to add that the monitor I use is Eizo 24” and the calibration is done.

What's darker than what, what version of all products, what OS (and version)?
We need a lot more details.

The print is darker than the image on the monitor. Lightroom version is 12 under the Window10 64bit.
