Dark prints

2006-12-07 by Keith R.

Hi all!

Made a profiles(PrintFix Pro 1.1.1) for 2 different papers
(HawkMountian SharpWing Luster and Hahnemuhle Fine Art Pearl)and made 
prints. The colors match what's on screen(profiled monitor w/wht pt. @ 
65K)but they are printing 1-1 1/4 stop dark like they are over 
saturated. I turn off CM in the epson driver, use perceptual intent, 
check media settings, etc. Have I done something wrong in the proflies 
I made? As I stated, the colors in the prints are great, only dark, 
like the're over saturated. Do I modify the profiles and rebuild them 
and reprint? What would need to do? From what I could see, I would 
call up the profile to modify, use the sliders(in this instance the 
brightness),click next to rebuild the profile, rename it and then use 
that new profile to print. Any info would be appreciated!
