we bought an epson r200 last week and returned it yesterday and got an
r300. no diff in the pribters except the 300 has a card reader. big
deal. my problem is DARK printing.We have tried different setting and
cf cards. different programs etc. the pic looks fine on my monitor. I
see there have been many questions regarding this issue but i have yet
to come across an answer. can anybody direct me to the answer? i
called epson and they asked if i had shaken the inks before
installing. thanks for any forthcoming help.

Are you using Epson paper?

9 times out of 10 when you aren't getting what you see on the screen in your
printout it is because the monitor isn't seeing the image correctly to begin
with. Have you calibrated your monitor?

Seems to takes a lot to get this printer working correctly..

I can print a CD that looks great and matches the Screen, but when I print the
CD Insert its way to dark.

I have managed on one occasion to get it right, but I don't know what settings
I used.

This was the Autopatcher XP cd..

setting (even with 25 +). What service pack are You talking about?
TIA
