Re: Prints too dark from QTR, what next?

Thanks for the detailed answer. Yeah, setting the paper ICC for the monitor would have been a little bananas, but better to ask....

For sure my monitor is no Eizo. I will look through Les's materials, it looks very interesting. It is reassuring that there is more that can be done then what I am doing right now in terms of softproofing if money is available. For where I am at now though, softproofing in PS with the ICCs I have generated for the paper is probably a pretty good tradeoff. In fact: In terms of improving my printing, the best bang for the buck is probably going to be to find a printer I can run piezography on instead of a p800 with stock inks (although that is just a guess, because I have never seen any best effort blind comparions between a good effort QTR with p800 stock print compared to a piezography print of the same picture; that would in fact be something I would love to see).
