printer problems

[mazzywoo]

Hi all.
I have an Epson photo printer and am generally very pleased with it. However, when printing photos, they come out darker than they appear on the computer screen, thus losing definition. Is there any way of adjusting the way the ink flows so that the prints come out lighter? I have been into the advanced printer settings but am worried that I will mess up all the settings by fiddling around with them!
Any advice please?
Many thanks
Maz

You'll have to go into advanced again and increase the brightness a notch or two till you see the correct shade you want by selecting 'Print Preview' or print it off to check. Ideally, these settings are defaulted to Zero. Don't forget to click Ok, as you can always return it to Zero. If it isn't at this setting ,then it may be set to the minus side of Zero which could also be the problem. Return it to Zero.
