The other week I made a painting and decided to print it off at kinkos (it was for a small personal project). Well, I forgot that my monitor was at full brightness (for Counter-Strike ) so when it was printed off it was WAY too dark. I was wondering if there was a certain contrast/brightness that your monitor should be set to for ideal printing? If there is, could you please share? Thanks. _________________ "So...remember, whenya put down one mutha, you puttun down muthas all ovah da worhl." - Mr. T |

my contrast is 100% and my brightness is @ 50% - and then my screen gamma is controlled by my colour correcting software |
