Printers

[carlos]

I've been printing some pictures and have noticed the printouts are different shades than the ones on the monitor-does anyone know of a utility to match the monitors display to the printers output......i assume that since the monitor can be changed it is the printer which is correct. Thanks in advance - Carlos

Before doing anything else, please read this:

Then, for a basic monitor set-up procedure, see here:

For more detail, see here:

or, if you're really technically minded, see here:

If you study all of that lot you shouldn't actually need a monitor calibration utility (because you can do it yourself anyway). However, since that's what you asked for, try this:
