I'm not sure if this post belongs here but I don't see a specific printer forum. I am a neophyte at monitor to printed output calibration as I've always been ok with the results in the past. However, having recently switched from my trusty Pro 9000 to a new Pro 9500 II the printed photos have been badly out of synch colorwise compared to what I am seeing onscreen. I have no idea if I'm supposed to somehow 'calibrate' a physical photo held up to the screen or what? As of now the output of photos from the new printer are nearly useless due to this issue.

I see the. Datacolor Spyder4Pro Color Calibration System. in the news portion of TDP. Is this what I need or is there a cheaper alternative way to more closely match LCD and printed output? Again, output from the previous printer was acceptable in relation to what I was seeing onscreen.

As always, many thanks
