I use cone color inks instead of oems. Which honestly they print identical to epsons in my oppinion and you can't beat the price! I also don't have a wide gamut monitor. It is nice to know that those colors are problematic. Overall I'm happy with the results and I am very picky!

I want to thank you. I changed the brightness of the screen to match a white piece of paper as close as possible to the human eye. I then recalibrated like you said. The photos are printing much more accurate now. I only notice a tiny bit of color difference such as blues and greens not quite the same color but darn close. I'm happy with the outcome! I also will turn off that embedded profile thing. Thanks so much!!

It is a jpg file however I forgot to mention when I open it in Photoshop it tells me this: the embedded document color profile does not match the current working run space. Embedded srgb working Adobe run 1998. it give me 3 choices: use embedded profile instead. Convert to working space. Discard don't color manage. I've been choosing convert document to working rgb. Is this correct?

Sorry to sound dumb but how do I change white point and black point. I used huey pro by xrite for the calibration. I'm not sure how to do what you're describing. As a side note I printed on epson watercolor paper and it came out beautifully. It looks like the monitor. But the photo prints look different as I described above. I don't know if this new info would change anything.

I look forward to any help solving my dilemma. I am trying to print photos on epsons ultra premium glossy photo paper using photoshop. Here are the steps I've taken so far. Every time with these steps the image comes out less vibrant, dull really and slightly darker. color settings: converted to profile, (I read in places to be sure to do this step. Before it said srgb in the print settings. Now that I converted it says adobe rgb 1998 in the print settings). Photoshop Print Settings: Print settings: Also the image is resized before I did any of this:
