Hi,
I’ve finally got my video card, monitor, printer and Photoshop CS3 calibrated in such a way that I am happy with the overall colors, and what the printer prints out is relatively identical to what’s on the screen.
Except for one part : Blacks. As soon as the image goes a bit darker, the printer prints out a bit too much black… details visible on the screen get lost on paper.
Otherwise, the hues and brightness match-up quite well! Everything clicks until you’ve got anything with any black/fading in it (a solid black is a solid black, but the fades are where you lost details.. printer drowns those fades with just a bit too much black compared to what’s on the screen).
Thoughts? It’s a standard inkjet printer (Brother MFC 240c). I’d like to remedy the excess black output while not affecting what I see on the screen. What would be best way to do that?
