Hello!
I’ve spent hours for the past 4-5 weeks trying to solve my situation of what I see on the monitor is not what prints out at my local Wal-Mart or Ritz. They both use the Fuji Frontier 390. I was able to do this just fine on CS2 on my other system (slow 500MHZ). I upgraded my hardware (Dell XPS/410) so I could upgrade to CS3. I have Dell’s 2007FP Ultra Sharp monitor. I have my camera set at Adobe RGB and my work space at RGB. I have tried running Adobe Gamma and even purchased Spyder2, which did not solve the problem. The prints I get back have are darker and have a yellow green appearance.
I tried unsuccessfully to get the icc profile for the printer Fuji’s LP2000SC after speaking to Fuji and Wal-Mart Tech. The Tech suggest printing a test print (he sent me), bring it home and adj my monitor(using the monitor settings)to match the print. This did not work to well.
I know it will never be perfect, but its off enough that causes me to be unable to make the adj in camera raw that I want.
Yesterday a guy at Ritz camera said I should be setting my camera on sRGB and run them through Photoshop with a work space of sRGB since there printers are set for sRGB. I took some photo’s today as a test and noticed I didn’t have the adj capability as with Adobe RGB (256 colors). It appeared I could only adj the greens and blues.. I have not brought them to be printed at Ritz yet, but will tomorrow.
Is setting my camera at sRGB the answer?? I don’t want to give the the adj capability in camera raw…
Sorry, for the length.
All input would be greatly appriciated!!!
