Mycanvas printing color correction

jziegler

I ordered a MyCanavs calendar for the first time, and it arrived today. The overall print quality is good, but several of the photos came out dark. Is MyCanvas doing any auto color correction that may have affected the print quality? In some of the photos, there doesn't appear to be any white area left, but most of the photos had at least some small white areas (clouds, for example) in them.

The following is a link to the project (which I have on share for this). July and November came out the darkest. Could anyone take a look and let me know if the photos look like they could have caused the problem? I don't have a calibrated monitor, but they look good on my PC at home as well as the one at work.

Thanks for any help on this. I am not dissatisfied with the results, but they are not as good as I was hoping for.

Feel free to move this to another forum if this is not the best place for it.

Hi, they do not color correct. I'm guessing May/June were dark, eh?

Thanks Andy. May looked a little dark, but not too bad. June was dark too (but I'm not as surprised at that one). As I said before, July and November were the ones that were most surprisingly dark. Well, I think that this is what I needed to give calibration another try, since I never got usable results from the Huey I tried a couple years ago.
