Epson 1280 color management problem
The short of it is that when I use profiles from Photoshop, the print comes
out way too red-magenta. I am not talking a subtle color cast, no, it is way too red. The problem occurs with a profile I made with Monaco EasyColor, and with the canned profile I downloaded from the Epson site. Both are for the premium glossy paper. I use Photoshop CS on Windows XP Pro SP1. I also tried it with Photoshop 6 on the same system - same results. The same problem occurs with Epson 820, although Epson does not supply profiles for it, but Ian Lyons seems to think that the 810 profiles are compatible with the 820. I use Photoshop to color manage my printing. The procedure is: 1. View - Proof setup - Custom, then choose the printer profile 2. File - Print with preview, then check Show More Options, and on the Color Management pane set Source Space to Proof, Print Space to "Same As Source" Profile. 3. Hit Print, select the right printer, then hit Properties 4. In the Properties dialog, select the right paper, then choose "Custom" mode, and on the Advanced tab set Color Management to "No Color Adjustment". 5. Also check Print Preview checkbox When the preview window appears, the colors are too red, and that is the way the image will print. This seems to rule out a hardware problem with the printer (clogged nozzles, etc.). Besides, the 820 has the same problem. I realize that I can have the printer driver (and not Photoshop) color manage my printing (and this does *not* produce the red color cast) but that precludes me from using my profile, as well as non-Epson papers that require non-Epson profiles. I also realize that the profile I made with EasyColor will not get me very far. I intend to have one professionally made, but want to solve the problem before I pay someone to make a profile for me. Thanks in advance. Vadim |

Thanks in advance. Vadim Vadim, one clue is to use the same printer settings, that have been used to produce the print for generating the profile. What is the name of the epson profile? Is it a special profile for the paper? or is it some kind of generic profile used for alle Epson papers? How did you print the target for the Monaco EasyColor profile? You have to use the same setting in the driver. Winfried |
