monitor brightness - print brightness problem

I note that both your calibration and profiling instruments are from Datacolour in Switzerland. I had some issues while transferring from PC to Mac and Datacolour were exceptionally helpful.

In fact, my problem went away as it seems that the printer profiles for my papers were transferred to Mac through the migration assistant.

Suggest dropping an email to Datacolour might help if you have not solved the problem by now as it was raised several months ago originally.

properly profile monitor, 80 candles, and printer.

 

Then soft proof the file to be printed with the paper/printer profile.

 

The file to be printed needs a proper black point, 000 RGB and a white around 235/250 depending. I use levels.

 

I use photoshop and find the darkest point with threshold and same with highlights. You now get a file that looks the same as original with the profile applied. Turn the profile off and it gets ugly. But when printed will be fine. That is what the profile does.

 

 

 

Do not double profile, ie let LR and the printer manage colors. One of the two MUST be turned off. This is separate from above paragraph.

 

Nice tutorial on Adobe .TV , Julieanne Kost, printing from LR. More there than I want to type.
