clc4040 h1 v2 rip dark prints

[alex@wocltd.com]

have a customer on trial with one of these they are complaining of overall darkness to output ie photos all look dark and underexposed compared to monitor(i know cant compare rgb output to cmyk but hey) their reference was their old 3200 ( colours was way out way to punchy and brassy also no rip) - also know about ati to setting pascal up - so will attend tomorrow a.m - check pascal set up ccd then do auto grad - then do calibration of rip using kodak gray scales - anything else worth doing?
any bible to setting rips back up? - otherwise i fear client will cancel trial.....

yeah - already do that as matter of course and always set 600dpi to stop image looking 'muddy'
