RE: print color vs monitor

<x-charset iso-8859-1>The 1200 tends to print on the warm side. You may want to check Ian Lyons
suggestions for settings for the 1200 at

But, if your monitor is not correctly calibrated you cannot hope to achieve
a match between the monitor and the print. Have you set up Adobe Gamma?
That'll do for a start.

Subject: print color vs monitor


I printed an image taken with a digital camera onto my Epson 1200 printer
and it looks great.  But when compared with the monitor display, it looks
very warm.  Really too brown overall.  Also the pink in the subjects shirt
is more saturated in the print.  I used Adobe Photoshop with all color
adjustments on auto, no changes by me whatsoever.  I would like to get a
more accurate rendition of the photo.  What is the best way to do this?  It
seems like this used to not be a problem.  Do I need to run some sort of
calibration program to make my printer match my monitor?  Thanks for any
help.
