Do these look dark to you? - 03-24-2009, 11:02 PM


These look fine on my laptop (which is uncalibrated and 5 years old...). I tried to print them on an Epson 2200 that I have access to but they came out really dark. The darker areas were completely black with no detail at all. On my laptop they are 'darkish' but there is still detail. What do you all say? How do they look to you? I suppose I could send them off for prints and see if it is my processing or just the interface between my computer and the 2200...

On this first one, the print showed the shadow side of the 'tower' as just about completely black--no detail at all


On this second one the round dome and the tile roof-line were completely black. On my screen there are 'ribs' running down from the top along the dome and the tiles are showing.

Okay, thanks. Since I couldn't blame my wife, I'm glad I can blame the printer...
