Hi,

I have recently purchased spyder 3 studio SR. I am using photoshop on a mitsubishi diamond monitor and an epson 9600 printer.

After profiling my monitor, I printed (no colour management etc) expert targets plus grey (4 of 4), read them and created my print profile. I then ran a test using my old (purchased) profile and my new self created profile. With the new profile being the winner in my eyes. Stronger colours etc, but not too much of a difference from my old purchased profile.

My problem is when I now open that same file on my monitor. 'Assign' my new print profile, it looks terrible? Colour is completely drained from the image and it looks nothing like the print? I am going to re-profile my monitor to see if this helps. But is there a reason as to why this looks so different on-screen? My goal is to match screen to print and vice versa?

Thanks in advance for any advice...
