Problems with Shadow detail...

2008-09-04 by rickbehl

Hi all,

Wonder if someone can help before I pull out the rest of my remaining
hair on my already balding head...

I have just purchased the Spyder3 studio. I calibrated my monitor with
the Spyder3 Elite and also a paper/ink combination for my printer
using the Spyder3 Print 1005 device. (Paper = Hahnemuhle Photo Rag,
Ink = Epson Ultrachrome, Printer = Epson 3800). 

On printing however I noticed that although the general colours of my
print look good there is not enough detail in the shadows (which I
could see on the screen). I have also noticed that after calibrating
my monitor using the Spyder3 device I cannot see as much detail in the
shadows on a Black and White test image as I could before (previously
I was using the Eye One Display 2 calibration device).

Any help please would be really appreciated !

Thanks,
Rick
