switched to UT in 1280, prints far from screen view

2003-12-07 by Bob Michaels

Since swapping my FNS-E inks (John Woolfe workflow) for UT in my 1280
and Paul's workflow, my prints are far from what I see on the screen
like they used to be. Prints are now much lighter on EEM. I'm
concerned I have something set wrong. Can someone review my settings?

In color management:
1) Document:: untagged RGB IS checked
2) Proof setup: US web coated (SWOP v1 is NOT checked
3) Profile is: Adobe RGB (1998)
4) Intent is: relative colormetric
5) Use Black Point compensation IS checked
6) Paper is specified as: Photo
7) In color adjustment: No Color Adjustment is selected (does this
override #1-5?)

I confess the skipping over some of the basic Photoshop and printing
areas last year and just started printing since it worked. I wonder if
I'm really missing something really elementary.

I've never done an official monitor calibration since my screen and
prints used to match back when I used FSN & Woolfe workflow. 

I'm open to ideas how to get back to where my monitor and the prints
match after switching to the UT inkset and Paul's workflow.
