Epson C82 prints too light

[Terry Pinnell]

I've just been making a few prints on special glossy paper, using the
highest quality colour setting of my Epson C82 Stylus (on a PC under
Win XP).

They were pretty good, but definitely all a bit *lighter* than the
screen image. Is this a characteristic of the printer? Is there
anything I can do about it please, (apart from darkening the original
and guessing the outcome)?

Thats a printer "feature". Simply turn up the "brightness" knob on the
monitor and then it will match the printer.

You're serious? The monitor faithfully displays original colours.

The printer and the drivers are designed and provided by the printer
manufacturer. IF you want to "tune" the printer you are going to have to
change the "color" profile. Contact the printer manufacturer for the method.

Your monitor may need calibration. Google for Monitor calibration.
