I print from a carefully profiled monitor using PS, to a carefully profiled Canon Image Prograf printer. I make my own profiles using I1 gear.
The colours are always right on, if slightly desaturated, but what I don't understand is why I have to add about +35 points in Brightness in PS before printing if I want the print to look just like the monitor image.
My monitor is calibrated to be quite dark - 100 lumens.
I'm very happy with the prints when I add the Brightness but I'm not sure why I should need to, having profiled the printer/paper. Doesn't matter what paper I use, the result always needs that extra shot of brightening before printing.
Anybody care to comment?
