Technical Discussions / Printers / PRO-100 Odd reversal at bottom of step chart

I was printing a color chart and step tablet and noticed that I couldn't see a difference between the last two dark steps of the tablet. When I looked closer under very bright illumination, the last step was actually slightly lighter then the next step. The RGB values were something like zero and maybe 8-12. Shining an LED flashlight through the paper, there's definitely less ink on the last step (that should be the darkest.) Paper is Red River UltraPro Gloss II with their profile (I think). Is this a profile issue or is there something else I should look at? It doesn't affect images because we're talking the blackest of the blacks, but it's also not the way things should be.

So darn quiet around here. Missing Fred. Had to print some stuff recently. Brought up Qimage and printed it. Great results and no drama. Just works.

If that test image is too dark, IMO you have to start there. Latest printer drivers, factory ink, known good paper profile. I use Red River and their profiles are generally very good. Forget about the monitor completely until printing works right. What light do you view your prints under? Hopefully others will have more suggestions.

The print is the reference but you need to know that the printing part of things is set up and working right. Download the test image here- https://www.lapseoftheshutter.com/printer-test-image/ and print it. Don't adjust it in any way, just print it. The site tells you what to look for, but it should basically look great. If that's the case, your monitor is likely too bright, though there could be other things wrong.
