Re: Prints too dark from QTR, what next?

Holding up the print next to the screen will NOT work. The result will always look too dark unless you place the print in a small viewing booth positioned beside and slightly behind the display AND the illumination of the booth is balanced to the display in terms of brightness.

To illustrate this, forget the image. Set your screen display to blank white and hold a piece of the Canson Baryta next to the display. Do, they match. NO - not in ambient room illumination. So, once you apply ink to that, the result gets even darker.
