Sometimes when I print my pictures the pictures have a sligh murky look to them. By murky I mean the colors are not vibrant and bright. The pictures are acceptable but not as good as they could be. On the monitor they look quite good. As I mentioned above this does not happen all the time, just sometimes. My printer is a Canon i9900 and I process the pictures using CS2. Sometimes I get the feeling a little more contrast is needed but when I increase the contrast (using curves) the pictues are somewhat better but slight murkiness remains. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
