CanadianRocky · 06-27-2009

I have a Cannon Pro9500 and the images are quite a bit darker when printed than they are on the monitor. In both Black and White and in colour.

I have checked the monitor and it is calibrated correctly. It is a Dell driven by an ATI Radeon HD 2400 video card.

I am using Hi Gloss Photo Paper

When I print in Black and White I am using

Photoshop manages colour - Gray Gamma 2.2 (others seem to make it darker still)

In colour I am using

Photoshop manages colour - ProPhoto RGB

Colour Management in the Printer Properties is set

Automatic. - Under manual there are several different profiles.

It doesn't make a difference at what the printer is set for Quality - standard, high or Custom

Under printer profile in Photoshop I see Nine possible 9500 Profiles. Plus a couple of dozen others.

It is a huge waste of ink to try them all, if there is a quicker solution.

Thanks,

Rocky
