The problem: The color coming out of the printer is much darker than my monitor.
I have a Dell computer, Windows XP, 20in. flat monitor, 2mb of ram, Photoshop CS2, Epson RX 500 printer with current driver software, Gretagmacbeth Eye-One calibration devise and the essay by Ian Lyons on color management.
I have set up CS2 using the Ian Lyons recomendations, have calibrated my monitor with Eye One, have installed the latest printer driver in my printer and still get the same results. A darker image than my monitor displays.
I believe the problem may lie in the drop-down window in CS2, in the print-with-preview box, and the "printer profile" dropdown selections.
In the Lyons essay, he selects a paper profile ie glossy. I see nothing like he describes in the drop-down menue. I have tried all of the selections under Epson and see very little difference.
Can someone help me on this problem.
