I find that my prints are consistently darker than my screen. I use a Macbook Pro and an external 24" Dell monitor. I have profiled the monitor with a Xrite eyeone -2 and print on a 2400 using ABW. The prints are consistently darker than the screen even when I use basic Epson papers (e.g., EEM). I have CS3 set correctly to no color management and selected the paper correctly. The monitor is connected via a DVI cable. The monitor does not have a contrast adjustment, but I can adjust the brightness. However, I assumed that the eyeone takes care of that during the profiling process. The tonal rendition (shadows, highlights and midtones) looks ok to my very amateur eye. The only problem seems to be that the prints are consistently darker than the monitor. While I can increase brightness using a curve before I print, that seems to defeat the whole idea of profiling. Any help appreciated. Steve
