It's a tough choice: do you calibrate your monitor for printing or for optimal image viewing? With a BenQ monitor, you don't have to choose, as all calibration data is stored directly in the monitor. Other monitors rely on Windows software and monitor settings, meaning you can’t switch between profiles as seamlessly as you can with a BenQ. This explains some of the problem, but try to look it up yourself - it's all about the way you calibrate - but you can't have bort. Printing labs has specific monitors calibrated for printing only! Hint - it's all about luminance level :-) ua-cam.com/video/YLlS7gPrLH4/v-deo.html
Since the obvious of a monitor being backlit versus a printed photo being darker is it recommended in your opinion to increase the brightness a bit? I use Canon Studio Print Pro do you know if that automatically disables the printer profile to avoid double profiling? I’ve tried printing from Photoshop and always get different bad results compared to using Canon Studio Print Pro
When calibrating your monitor, use a recommended luminance setting. When you're done the calibration, make a test print and compare the brightness of your screen with the print. Is the print dark? Your monitor is too bright. Try a lower luminance setting, and repeat the steps until the prints match the luminance of the screen.

Hello Great idea to use this image. Unfortunatly the link doesnt work...
Available in my Face Book Group. Link in the video descriptions.

For us who do not have such a monitor and only use it for editing then the answer is editing.

If you go in photoshop make a levels layer on screen at 20% opacity. That’ll solve a dark print.
@ I’ll give that a try👍🏼

@@FLMUSACanada Thank you for your info, I’m due for a calibration of the monitor so I’ll give your advice a try
