Photography Question

Dark prints from photo lab


I write my scans to CDs, the lab prints them dark, contrasty and warm.
Today I adjusted color temperature of my monitor from 9300K to 6500K and installed the labs profiles.
Cannot make my monitor any darker, brightness is at 0 already.
What else can I do?

  Hi, it's me again!
I downloaded new drivers for my video card with controls for monitor's color and brightness.
I made special color setting that matches my lab's prints.
Now, I'll readjust color and density of the images in Photoshop with screen on that setting and the lab will print the files correctly. I hope. :)
