Colour Management - again!!!

[beano500]

So, those of you who are in the know about this colour "mangement" [sic]...



Eye One is doing a great job on my display. Got the profile for my printer too.

Followed instructions carefully. Now when I print, the colour balance seems correct. GOOD!!

Except that, , the prints all come out a significant margin lighter than before.

Now it could be that the profile I got is just plain wrong - that thought hadn't escaped me. I notice that the screen preview of the print is also lighter than the normal image on screen.

Am I missing something - as I say, I followed the distructions - and you can't really go wrong, can you?

Is there a simple tweak to encourage a bit more ink to make the prints darker?

Or am I just suffering mange-ment of my colour???

Epson R300 - using same ink/paper combination as for the prints sent off for profiling - not changed and twiddled anything else in Photoshoppe settings or printer properties

I had that mistake a while ago... all my photos would look great on my screen, but be incredibly dark when printed out. Then I realized by screen brightness was extremely low...

I like your thinking! But as I pointed out the preview is lighter than the nomal screen view too!

ignore preview. thats only showing ou the changes it has to make to fit the profile
