Printer calibration

Something to watch out for, I ran a program called PC Doc Pro through my computer to clear out rubbish. What I didn't realise that in doing this I suspect it also reset the colour management back to the monitor factory settings and threw out a different (darker) printout to the screen picture.
So I had to remove those original settings and replace it with what I had calibrated . So if you do a computer cleanout with a removal program check the colour management settings afterwards.

Its the printer calibration thats governed by the computer colour management that applies to any computer/printer relationship. The two need matching up to produce in hard print what you see on screen.
