Lou -

A lower gamma setting will make my 600 print lighter. It may work for you. Try
{0.222 exp} and see what difference it makes (it may be too light). My main
interest is in getting  web pages to print reasonably well.  As a test, I print
a graphic from a web page, then see how closely it matches its appearance on
the monitor. Of course, if the monitor's color settings are way off, this won't
work well.

From another post:

Thanks very much. It still needs a lot of work.
