It is so frustrating to work on a photo for hours to get it just perfect and then "print" and Preview before print is perfect but what comes out is trash!!!!!

Who can tell me of a printer that prints at least a nearly the same picture as the preview? I just bought this and it prints fairly well in Windows but the Mac actually just barely supports it. I look at them in Photoshop CS3 and they look fantastic - but what comes out looks like the ones my Grandmother used to show me.

Well, it's fairly obvious, your colour/contrast/brightness is off on your monitor, alot of people have that. I know mines a bit light when I get things printed at the shop I use, so I make all my print peices just a bit darker. You should to play around in Adobe Gamma for awhile.

Calibrate your monitor and use your printers color profile wihile doing a softproof.
