ive printed quite a few hdrs on the laser priinter in the studio on photopaper, and they all seem pretty naff, like saturated, poor quality, funny contrast. normal shots print out perfectly

it could be something to do with the output on that.

do they look dodgy on screen? And have you tried printing something that hasnt been through photomatix?

Laser printers never print photos like HDRs very well - mine included!
