Hi guys, can someone explain something as if to a child please?
I have a monitor calibrated with a Spyder2, and an Epson R285 printer.
How do I get my prints to look anything like they do on screen?
I've seen suggestions to just create a virtual copy in LR, raise the brightness and then print. This just blows out the highlights on the print and leaves the darks and shadows way too dark. :shake:
I've tried setting the profile in Color Management to various things, including all the ones for the printer and even the display profile for the Spyder2. All with disappointing results.
I've seen people talk about getting the ICC profiles from the paper manufacturers. I'm using Xerox Premium Photo Paper but I can't find anywhere where Xerox give these profiles out.
:bang: Please help, in simple terms?
