Printing Color Is Off

[mhstein]

I Am New To Lightroom But I Have A Question Concerning Priniting And Photographs Comming Out Dark.

When I Am Finished Delevoping My Pictures And Go Into The Print Module What Settings Do I Set Up In Lightroom To Print Exactly Like My Pictures Look On My Monitor.. They Are Always Printing Too Dark.

Any Suggestions Would Be Helpful.:?:

Hi mhstein, welcome to the forum!

Can you tell us a bit more about your setup? It would be useful to know system specs, operating system, printer, etc, and then we can give you specific advise. It's easiest to put these details in your signature like I have, and then you won't have to type them next time you have a question. There's instructions on the home page.

Hopefully we'll be able to help answer your question then.

Thank you for responding back so quickly !

I am currently using a pc running vista with a Canon pro 9''' printer. I have all of the parameters set up on the printer such as size of picture, etc.

When i select print the pictures prints out too dark and is confused as of what settings i should set-up up in either lightroom or on my printer ?

I'm Mac based these days, so I won't try to muddle my way through the instructions.

Try this thread here though: http://www.lightroomqueen.com/community/showthread.php?t=2'4&highlight=print

Thank you for the printing video, but when you go into page set-up
and pick the color management settings, will that lock in the same color scheme as isi on my monitor, because if it does, i have already tried that and my photos still come out darker than showing on my monitor.
