I printed this picture.

And it came out too dark to even see.


I used Kodak premium glossy paper.

The only help I can give is to say that Kodak isn't known in the printer business. I have a Canon i560 and have found that Epson paper works best for photos. Kodak's high end glossy turned out grainy unless you looked directly down on the photo. It sounds like Kodak has a long way to go in the printer & injket paper business.

That's the weird part, the quality was great. Extremely sharp, great detail. But any dark areas came out too dark.

I'm aware that it's not the best picture, but it was a picture in which I wished to print.

I'll try the same picture on a differnt type of paper.

Some Epson printer drivers produce darker output from the Windows XP Photo Printing Wizard with Service Pack 2 (SP2) when used with their default color settings. We will be updating the drivers to correct this problem and posting them on the Epson Support Website for downloading.
