One possible cause for such a discrepency is that your proofing light 
is dimmer than your monitor, so it looks bright on screen, and darker 
in print. This is only an issue for LCDs, for the most part. Try the 
Ambient Light feature in Spyder2PRO v2.2. And be sure to use Custom 
Proof Setup in Photoshop. Are your prints too dark from PrintFIX PRO's 
Print Preview screen, or only from Photoshop?

Subject: [colorvision_group] New printer  new profiles new problems

   Help folks,

I have a new Epson R2400 printer and am having great difficulty
creating a workable profile with PFP 1.1.1. I have followed the same
procedure as when creating profiles for the Epson 1280, but seem to
get very dark prints. The monitor is calibrated with the Spyder with
PFP as the profile creator. The prints from within PFP look ok, but
using the profile to print from Photoshop is where I am obviously
making my errors. I set up the printer in Photoshop to let Photoshop
determine colors. The workspace is Adobe RGB 1998. In the printer
driver settings I choose Quality option=Photo;
Advanced=colormanagement=ICM with Off(no color admustment), assuming
that means color management off for the printer and letting Photoshop
manage it.
