Hi all,

I have a question about printing, rgb and cmyk:

In my photoshop i have a photography of a land I made.  
Now, if i print it (my printer is Epson Stylus Photo R300) in RGB it will be printed very well, all colors are clear and the final print is very near to what i see on monitor.

If I convert my rgb to cmyk, the final print will be so dark, i can’t see some details of the photo, and all is very dark with bad colors. The sky is dark blue and not light blue…and so on…

This is couse i print with a home printer?maybe in typography is different? any help here please?

many thanks
