I have always had headaches when It comes to getting consistent color from Monitor to Printer.I've never really had to worry about it before because I didn't print many Photographs. Recently I have received a steady stream of Photo Restoration Projects Mainly from Friends and Family and getting good pay,now I have to focus on the Aspect of Color Management. I've recently Purchased a Lexmark PrintTrio X1150 Scanner/Printer/Copier a couple weeks back. My Monitor is an HP Pavillion v70's Monitor I'm also in the process of obtaining a Digital Camera also. Now I've been working with Photoshop for a little over 2 years know I think in my own mind that i've become fairly good at it. Except when it comes to Color (Monitor to Printer) I've made up my mind to try and setup my monitor printer correctly. The Main Problem is that colors are a darker when printed then the ones on my Pc screen. Is there any others that have had this problem? Could any body send me some tutorials on this the built in manual seems to complicated I've never really relied on the manual everything I've learned has come from online tutorials and from just playing around.
