Epson Photo 1280 Color Problems
Hi,
Anyone knows why is it that whenever I print a black n white picture it prints it in black/white and dark green... and the only way to avoid that is by setting the Printer's Property options to print with just the black ink, however when I do that even though it prints only in b/w then the contrast doesn't come out as strong as it should be (the picture becomes much lighter), yet the contrast works well when printing in color... Is there any way to solve this problem? Thanks. |

What paper are you using?

... Anyone knows why is it that whenever I print a black n white picture it prints it in black/white and dark green... One answer to this is colour management. Are you using a colour managed application like Photoshop or Qimage to do your printing, and are you selecting an appropriate profile for the paper/ink combination you are using? OEM profiles are available for Epson papers, and some 3rd party paper suppliers also have profiles for the 1280 on their web sites, e.g. Olmec, Tetenal, Ilford. John |
