RE: [QuadtoneRIP] Prints too dark from QTR, what next?

2018-11-20 by mick.sang@...

Prints appearing darker than our displays is one of the most common issues with digital printing. The display MUST be calibrated. BUT, the settings are dependant upon ambient room lighting around the display. Regarding brightness, anywhere between 80 cd/m2 and 130 cd/m2 could work, again depending upon monitor and ambient room illumination. Then, the lighting under which you view the print must be calibrated to the display - see ISO 3664 as someone also mentioned.
