Re: 1280 BO printing looks too light

Hello Mo,

Bob's question got me thinking...wondering if maybe your system is
working properly, but perhaps something such as the particular
monitor/graphics card combination is producing that result.  I'm not
sure how much difference "drastically" means, but you might try
assigning (not converting) a different image profile to lighten the
screen image until it matches the print.  If you can actually achieve
a match (with say DG15 or DG10) then maybe that's what your particular
hardware requires.  Just a thought, won't hurt anything to try.

Regards,
Clayton
