Hi! I use a MAC and an epson printer to do my greeting card graphics. My printing problem began when we upgraded to CS5. With the old version, the colors printed as they were seen on the monitor. Now, the colors are darker and duller on the printout. Please let me know how I can adjust the settings. I don't understand most of the options. :sad:

You can use View|Proof Setup Custom to see how an image will look.
When printing at home under Device to Simulate enter the exact paper you're going to use, and toggle with Ctrl+Y, Cmd+Y on the Mac.
You can make contrast, color, saturation adjustments, etc., to get the image to look the way you want it to look.
In the Printer duologue area the printer profile needs to be the paper you're using, Epson semigloss, Epson Photo Rag, etc.
I don't think there's a setting for plain paper.
Open Printer Settings and make sure ALL printer color management settings, effects, enhancement, etc., are disabled.
