It looks like your LM and LC are swapped. That would cause your problem.

That is, you probably have an ink mixing or installation error.

ok, this is a rough draft... having a heck of a time adjusting brightness and contrast on this Dell monitor. It's got five small buttons on the right that you can't see, they're not labeled, and they are same color as the monitor chassis, and you have to go through several menus to get to B and C. I'm going to download their pdf, print it out, and see if I can make sense of it.

In the meantime, here's what I have. If not satisfactory, I'll be happy to do better once I get the monitor manual.

on the 40 patch:

my Cal Print.............. your supplied jpg

LC..... 112..................94
M........62...................59
LM......90..................114

not very good numbers I'm afraid. be frank and tell me they're lousy! My LC patch is lighter, which is what you were asking.

stay tuned,

Paul
