Dark prints from Canon 9000 Mark ii calibrated
5 months ago

I received a Canon Pixma Pro 9000 Mark II for Christmas

I have a i1 Publish Pro Spectro and I have calibrated my two LED monitors with it

so far im finding that my prints are dark or very dark, I have calibrated my monitors to 80nits of brightness.. pretty low.. as my ambient lighting is dim in the evening.

I am using canned profiles for the paper from Canon, Canson and Hahnemuhle

printing from Photoshop CS6 and from Canon EasyPrint Pro

I cant seem to add other profiles to the canon utility

using Canon oem ink

using OSX on a hackintosh running mountain lion

Photos are shot under SRGB, I use proof colours in photoshop

not sure what i can do to make things better,
