Re: prints too dark

2010-02-25 by bill_hansen20012001

Ouch!!! You are correct! And double checking that  color management is completely off is a thing I've tried to do every single time I print anything photographic. This time I thought I had turned of CM, but I had not. Carelessness, nothing more or less. 

I'm printing out the 225 patch target now, and assuming that yields reasonable levels of brightness/saturation, I'll repeat the 729 patch target as soon as I can get back to it.

Thanks very much for that correction.
