Printing

[paulus]

i seem to have an issue with asda photo printing, when i get them back they are always far darker than my originals, i use two LED monitors and the picture is fine on both, to achieve it in print i have to move the brightness levels up to what looks like its almost blown out. Any ideas?

This is a common problem and almost always arises from the use of an uncalibrated monitor / video system.

It has been discussed ad nauseam on the web. Start by reading through these links:
