Soft proof no match for print.

2004-10-19 by Jerry Hadam

After lurking around here forever I am finally getting QTR to work and 
it is beautiful.

Unfortunately the soft proof (yes I found the right spot for it - 
thanks to those who responded) doesn't come close to the print. The 
soft proof is quite dark and contrasty - the print is light and airy ( 
a little too light) but so neutral. Soft proof shows up checked on the 
printer page. Printing on Epson Matte paper.

I have purchased some of the Arches Entrada double side to use for a 
portfolio and don't want to waste any until I get this figured out.

Do I need any other profile to match the Entrada?
I am just using the matte paper setting in the printer dialog box.

Thanks again,
Jerry
