Epson R1900 printing questions

The Curious Camel

I just purchased the Epson R1900 and I have been having some issues with it printing to dark.

I did have a hp 9800 and never had any issues with this kind of thing. I always got prints that looked exactly like my monitor.

I have had my monitor checked and it's ok. It's all pictures I print. I guess it wouldn't be a real problem but the shadow area on some just make it so dark it takes away any detail I do have.

Any suggestions I's sure appreciate it.

I'll check back tomorrow.

Peace, gail:D

That happens becuase the new Epson is not calibrated with your workspace. And maybe, the gamut of your new printer is not wider enough or, it's not close toi your monitor's profile.

Hard to understand, but that's the clue... By the way: "the shadow area on some just make it so dark it takes away any detail I do have", that's related to black point of your printer plus the dynamic range of it. Mine, for example, omits any black below 24, more or less... But that's just how my printer works. Search for the Printer IRIS on Google as well

Have a nice reading
