Be careful NOT to use both an ICC profile in PS, or other color aware
app., AND the printer driver color management at the same time. That can

Moose, et al:
I am working with a factory spec recalibrated Sony SDM-X93 19" LCD monitor,
a 2.0 mhz dual processor Mac G5 and Photoshop CS from the Adobe Creative
Suite 1.1.
After more wrestling with several photos I discovered that I had some embedded
profiles in some files from opening photos in other applications. After opening
those photos as untagged RGB files I was able to get a couple of photos with
weird
preview colors to look "normal." My photos usually look great on the monitor.
The
previews look great. But, the photos are always printed too dark by the 1270. I
have
used only a couple of combinations of inks and paper, including Epson Inks and
Premium glossy paper and inks and paper from inkjetart.com. Regardless of the
combination, my photos print the same--great looking, but dark. I have tried
altering
the brightness and contrast before printing. Previews look good. Photos still
print too
dark.
Any suggestions as to how to get lighter prints?
