 |
|
I have had this issue for years and noone has been able to help me. I use PS4 and I print on an Epson Pro Stylus 3800. I calibrate my monitor with Color munki device. My prints never match my monitor. WHY!!! I believe there is a setting or a step I am missing and I cannot figure it. I am hoping someone here can help me.
Epson just blames it on the PS software. On line help tells me it should match almost perfect. They tell me what to do, I do it and it is not close. My prints are much darker than what is on my monitor.
I calibrate to an 80 luminance. D65 white. I have used an Epson profile and a custom profile for printing. They both are simiilar and too dark. I view my pictures in the right proof profile.
Interestingly I have recently sent my photos out to a professional lab and even they come out too dark so it is my monitor settings or my photoshop not displaying accurate color.
Can anyone help??? I would really appreciate it. It will be so nice to resolve this issue.

Hi Cheryl,
Have you tried another monitor? That may sound basic, but it would rule out a hardware fault? Have you lookes at your work on another monitor?
Regards
Matt
