Printing from LR2 shouldn't be this difficult - Page 3 - PhotoCamel

jpdenk · 05-22-2009

I used a (Spyder) calibrated Viewsonic CRT monitor, Adobe Lightroom 1, an Epson R1800 printer, and my print results were really nice when I tried printing from Lightroom right after I got it, but I prefer to print from Photoshop (CS2), just seems easier to me, and the results are good.

I never really learned how to use Lightroom properly though. Maybe if I take the time to learn it, I'd like it more.

LIghtroom 2, Epson 4000 - doesn't want to print at all. Photoshop CS3 works fine.
Huey calibration, for what it's worth

A colorometer calibrates COLOR not brightness. Now that your monitor is calibrated your printer needs to be calibrated. And keep in mind the calibration for the printer has 3 variables. The printer, the paper and the ink.

Thus, my previous post.
