Prints too dark from QTR, what next?

2018-11-19 by per@...

Hi all,


I have a produced a very nice linearized profile for the p800 by using a densiometer and Roy's handy linearization app. I have verified linearity using the inkjet mall linearization spreadsheet. Prints themselves look great, but unfortunately darker compared to what I see on my monitor. I have profiled my monitor using D65 and 120cd/m2 as target. I output pictures from Lightroom into tiff Adobe RGB 1998 16 bits per component.


Any ideas to what is going on? Is the gamma in the output wrong, or am I profiling my monitor too high? How can I close the loop so that I get exactly the same brightness in the print as I see on my screen?


Regards,

-Per
