Help Needed

Any experienced photographers / printers out there?  I have a dedicated photo printer (HP 8200).  However, regardless of which application I use to print (I've used Photoshop, Lightroom and the included HP Image Zone) what I see on my screen does not equal what I see on the print.  The print is always slightly darker with slightly more contrast than what I see on my screen. 

I've gone through the different color profiles that came with my printer, and it does no good. 

I was looking at Lightroom tutorials online and was amazed at how their screen and print images looked EXACTLY the same.  I want that.  Any ideas?

The Lightroom tutorials are fake.

are you using third party ink? secondly, they usually use calibration tools to ensure that what you see on the screen is what would show up on your printout. third, you may want to save images as CMYK format instead of RGB if you're planning to print them.... then again i'm no print expert..

i agree with the CMYK comment, since all printers use CMYK ink format. Also, when using photoshop, run the color calibration test, it should be embedded somewhere in the tools/options/preferences. that might help. otherwise, i just give up (or get a mac, hah)

sorry man - i'm done with golf for the year. the healing time estimated in that blog is way aggressive. i was told that it'll take at least 6 months to fully heal.
