[alan 128]

using photoshop elements 8 and epsom r200 printer.and with printer contols selected the photos are coming out darker when i print than on the screen. i can lighten them on the screen using elements 8. But this is a bit hit and miss. Does anyone have any thoughts on this.

Usually in your print window you change the settings for the printer then save this as a profile then use that profile when you want to print. How this is done would probably differ from printer to printer. As I understand it too this is a good reason to make sure you are using the proper inks for your printer as the colours may be different with different brands of ink.

If you have colour management profiles for your printer Adobe RGB is probably one of the best for converting the RGB screen display to the printer CMYK colours of your printer. So says my OH
