UT3D profiles printing dark?

2009-08-24 by rmcooke

Hi Folks,

I'm using a 2200 with the UT-3D inkset and I'm printing onto Premier Alise Photo.  The prints I make with the profile I create come out way too dark.  If I print the image on EEM using a profile made by a list member (thanks Joost!) the print looks great so I'm fairly certain that it isn't the file but something I'm doing when I create the profile.

The image comes out too dark in all tones.

According the the QTR-Linearize output the L values are linear.  The Linearize values are:
LINEARIZE="97.34 92.79 88.96 85.18 80.73 76.94 72.81 68.59 64.43 60.61 56.38 52.41 48.22 44.62 40.98 36.82 32.88 29.33 25.31 21.1 16.1"

By the way I'm getting a dmax of 1.75 (measured with my X-Rite 400 densitometer).  This paper is a relative bargain at only $0.88/sheet in letter size

Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,
