ah help
my epson photo stylus 2100 is giving really dark and uninteresting
dark area prints ... I have tried and got some new icc profiles they
work ok.
the problem is finding one to work for plain paper
does anyone have a good suggestion
I just dont get the contrast in dark areas so any tips on that within
the drivers would help too....
I am off home for Christmas tomorrow and am trying to do a calendar
for mum
so thanks from mum

The reason printer companies sell special papers is that plain paper
doesn't work very will for images. The paper lacks the coatings needed
to hold the ink properly.
You bought a quality printer so feed it quality paper.
