Default Re: Cannon Pro9500 images darker than monitor

I just finished some printing and here is the result.

I got Canon paper, both matte and high gloss. When I went to the Canon website I found which paper is recommended specifically for my 9500 but could only find one of those at the local Staples store.

I printed from Photoshop and set it to Printer manages colors and Relative Colorimetric.

In printing preferences it is set to

Print Quality - High

Color - Manual - ICM

Input profile - Standard

Brightness - light.

I tested some black and white on 4 x 6 in paper, then printed to 8.5 x 11. I also did it with color.

This is the best result I have had so far.

I am going to order some paper from Canon that is specific for the 9500 and print at the same settings to see the differences.

Next is to get the calibrator and get the monitor where it needs to be, but this will require another thread which I will start up in Image Editing and Color Management.
