The first thing I would do is to get a known good image (like the old PhotoDisc Test Target or similar) and print that to see if it comes out dark. Some monitors are so bright that people end up under exposing or making their images darker so they look good on a screen that is way too bright. Printing a good reference file will help you determine if your monitor and printer are "in the ballpark". If the print is still dark, check to see that your profile/color management settings are correct. Most printers ship with ICC profiles that you can use to get a print that's much closer to what it's supposed to be. If that doesn't help, give us a call and we'll try to figure out what's going on.

Install the printer in Windows so it shows up in your printers and faxes, then you can enable it in Darkroom. If you have any questions or problems, just let us know.

When I ordered it I read that you tested it on Express Digital. Well I just put my key in for Express Digital and looked at all the printers that are listed and the updr80 is not one of them. I even went to their site and it does not have this printer listed. Are you sure it works with it, that is the reason that I purchased it to use with that software.
