Printer Calibration

studio12c

I use Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CS6 to process my photos. I have a Canon Pro9000 mark II and use a hueyPro to calibrate my monitor. The problem is trying to match the monitor with the prints. The prints are just one or two stops darker then the monitor. I use photoshop as my print module and have photoshop manage my colours. The document profile is adobe RBG (1998). I can't seem to get the proper match. Any suggestions.

You need an output profile for the printer/paper combo. You also need to make sure you calibrate the display to match that print next to the display. You need the ICC profile for soft proofing to do this.
