Using Spyder 4.0.2, calibrating the monitor to 121 cd/m^2 (and yes, I got the number right this time), my prints from an Epson 1430 printer are still too dark, compared to the monitor. This is consistent across three printer profiles - the canned Epson profile for Premium Luster, my own profile made with a SpyderPRINT package, and a custom profile I had made by Michael Gordon of "GreatPrinterProfiles".
Color management is correct. The targets for the custom printer profile was printed with Adobe Custom Printer Utility, which turns off all color management. The other prints were made with the correct paper selected and with ICM checked as "OFF" in printer properties.
Is it possible that my Spyder calibrating tool is out of spec? Is there any way I can check this myself?
