New Pc & monitor same printer and image. - 04-20-2008, 10:24 PM


I just bought a new PC and monitor, I loaded up CS3 and the printer drivers (Epson 2200), then loaded a tiff file that I have printed many times before and sent it to the printer with the same profiles as before and it turns out dark, very dark ? it looks good on the screen, but I did not make any adjustments, been thru the settings several times, print preview looks good, what am I missing here ?
thanks
Gary

Is your monitor calibra
