When I come to print (either Ink Jet or sent to a lab for C-Type prints) the prints are darker than they appear on screen.
Is there any way to get around this?Yea, edit the photos so they're a bit brighter.

Do you run your screen on full brightness?
In trade school for photography, we were taught never to run screens/monitors on full brightness and if at all possible only somewhere around 33%-50%. -

Yes.
1) At home - calibrate your screen, printer, and paper, using a calibration tool like an Xrite. Built in profiles mean nothing really.
2) At the lab - look at your picture on their calibrated monitors. Do a test strip (10% of the size of the final print, 10% of the price). Go to the Printspace if your lab finds this weird.

I usually edit my photos on Lightroom CC on either my MacBook Air or iPhone. When I come to print (either Ink Jet or sent to a lab for C-Type prints) the prints are darker than they appear on screen. For ink jet at least setting the 'Brighter' option on the printer helps.
Is there any way to get around this ? For ink jet I'm using the Lightroom Classic print module, with the recommend profile for the paper I'm using. Mostly printing B&W.
