I recalibrated my monitor and on my screen it looks good but prints dark and slight green cast, was wondering if maybe it is dark with slight green cast.
thanks
Gary

Looks fine on my calibrated monitor.
But ...
Print color Mgt is quite another matter - What printer, what inks, what paper, what color space, what printer profile, etc. You might want to get a color mgt program like Monaco, etc.

epson 2200, epson ink, epson luster, Moab semi gloss, some cheap glossy, One eye display 2 on new Dell LCD, Vista, raw files from D2x, Cs3 setup for adobe1998, tried almost every combo there is, photo shop manage to printer manage.
what is crazy to me is the best prints use Adobe 1998 or the one I created with one eye for the monitor used in place of a paper profile. its only slightly dark and very slight green. if I use a factory paper profile it is very bad. also this combo worked great on the old XP machine just not on vista. I've nearly used up a set of ink.

I have the Epson 2200 also.
Its Expensive and Built to stay that way !!

Its wise to use sRGB for web and aRGB for print {slight difference between the two profiles} but ...
your printer is not fully matched to monitor.
You should use a printer profile also.
F>W>I>W - The Epson also works best with Fresh inks and my Canon IP 2000 printer
never needs a profiles or color mgt.
I often just use my Canon and don't play around w the Epson..
Keep me advised ...
