Lightroom Prints Too Dark
Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
Canon MP560 prints too red.?
Just got and put up a Canon MP560. It prints way too dark pictures, too flat and blue. I find the ICC profile and I am using that to print from Adobe Lightroom. Photos are not flat now, but too red! What a person Charts know what I gotta do to get these photos to print correctly?
Is your monitor calibrated for the same profile? Both monitor and printer must be calibrated together to get the screen and printer functions. Just throw in a printer ICC profile will not help. Book choice printer driver can also have more effect on the final print you think. Using generic "glossy photo paper" as a choice must be a last resort. The choice of paper controls the amount of ink the printer thinks it needs to fix to get the desired color. If the paper is incorrect, the amount of ink is incorrect, and the colors are off. It's a couple things … there are more.
