RE: [QuadtoneRIP] Prints too dark from QTR, what next?

Maybe try ISO standards such as ISO3664 & ISO12646 when calibrating/ soft proofing etc. 

Works fine for me.

Subject: [QuadtoneRIP] Prints too dark from QTR, what next?

 

  

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
