Printer color doesn't match monitor

[Robert Kraeuter]

I'm using Photoshop6.0 and Epson 900. Pictures from my Sony camera shape up on the monitor with no color correction. Print to the Epson results with 30 more green than on monitor. To get proper prints I subtract 30 green, increase contrast 30, and brightness 30. Results yield good prints. How do I correct 6.0 to print WYSIWYG? Gamma does not seem to have adjustments for these corrections.

Hi all,

I've been having a monitor/desktop printer color mismatch problem for a long
time. It's been very annoying because I couldn't get decent printouts of my
digital photos. But it hasn't really gotten in the way of my work (magazine
& promotion design for a trade show) because my files have been outputting
OK by the printing (web) press. I'm not much of a techie so decided not to
rock the boat.

Reading this newsgroup has inspired me to experiment. By following the Adobe
Gamma instructions at "Accurate Image Manipulation for Desktop Publishing"
([url]http://www.aim-dtp.net/index.htm[/url]) I recalibrated my monitor and changed my
ICC profile AdobeRGB1998.icc.

Finally the image on my monitor closely matches the output of my Epson
inkjet printer and I'm satisfied. On my recalibrated monitor my previous
photo edits look way over-saturated. So I'll just go back to the originals
and edit them when I need them. OK, one problem is solved.

Now that my monitor is compatible with my inkjet, I'm worried that I've done
something that may make it less compatible with the web press. SHOULD I
WORRY?

Thanks in advance for your advice.
