PFP2.1, Vista, GeForce8800, monitor calibrated with Spyder Pro 2. I 
started with the 225 patch target printed from PS CS3 with the canned 
Epson profile SPR2400 EnhMatte BstPhoto.icc, PS control, ICM, No 
color adjustment in printer driver. The printed target agreed quite 
nicely with the monitor display. 

When reading the patches with the spectro, All the patches appeared 
too dark in the split view. Especially noticeable was the white 
patch - it was clearly quite gray. 

I then printed the target in PS again, this time with my newly 
created profile, and, as I expected, all the patches were too dark. I 
can't discern any color shift though. Same results printing 
a "regular" picture.

Is this normal? I guess I could adjust the profile to up the 
brightness, but I would expect a profile at least as good as the 
canned one right out of the gate.

Any help would be appreciated. I can send some samples, either 
scanned or by snail-mail.
