Printing from Photoshop CS2 has become a real headache.
All of the prints are too dark.
The same file, imported into a Word document, prints much better, and an image from the internet, sent to the printer also prints very well, so I can’t blame the printer. When I take the same file to another computer running Photoshop 7 and a different printer, it also looks much better. I bought a Spyder calibration meter and tried to run that but I’m afraid that I don’t really know what to do with the results.
I would appreciate any advice on how to set up the color profiles to get my images to look like they do on the monitor.
My monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster 913n and my printer is an Epson Photo 700, and I run Win XP SP2 and use Epson glossy photo paper Thanks.
