![]() ![]() you should invest in a more robust and pro printer for sure. Neville, if printing, business and clients are important. Make me 2 screen capture showing me this, and i will do my best to give you the answer. and what are the option your are choosing in the epson driver. meaning make a screen capture of your Photoshop print menu. So all this to say that i and you should have low expectation when contacting people over the phone that are not sesible about photographic matters. but he didtn say they print bw with a cast. or he couldtn say that only printer starting with the r3000 can print BW correctly. 2$ would have been already in the ball park. the rep there after all is speech could not give peoples a close answer. Heck! i was at a espon show 3 weeks ago, and one of the most popular question was *how much it cost to make a 8x10 print*. not people that are use to deal with photographer with color problem. you are talking with people who are use to fix technical problem a la my printer dont print, i dont see it in the browser etc. Terry, with all respect i have for both companies, and there (ok) support. Your model may have different steps that offer much more features and options that have to integrate with Photoshop's Color Management. I'm still not sure what the differences are between Apple's version of the driver and Epson's for my model because their interface menu settings are identical which don't allow Photoshop's control of color. I'ld also suggest reading up on these Apple tech docs on printing out of Snow Leopard. It may be different for your Epson model. You'll have to induce Apple Software Update to get the Apple version of yours which may require a complete uninstall of ALL Epson drivers associated with your model.Īnother thing from reading about Epson and Snow Leopard printer issues with users online is that it may or may not require an uninstall of the existing Epson driver in combination with whether to plug or unplug the USB connect at the right time which I'm not sure about off hand. So I basically relied on process of elimination. When I went to download from Epson's site, there wasn't a driver for Snow Leopard. I had to rely on Apple's Software Update which alerted there was an updated driver for my NX400 (that's how I knew I was using Apple's version). I had to do this to figure out specific steps in determining which driver (Apple or Epson) was being used for my NX400. I print to Ultra Premium Glossy paper but select the Premium Glossy profile which makes a world of difference in getting a match.Īnother thing is I'ld suggest you get very familiar with Printer and Fax Preferences in System Preferences panel by clicking on the (?) mark symbol in that specific preference panel and read all it says. Try using another paper profile similar to the one you're using in the Epson driver for instance Matte vs Glossy. Do the AdobeRGB version first and check for desaturation and if so then stick with the sRGB version. Do several prints using different settings with two versions of the image, one converted to sRGB and the other AdobeRGB. Some features will be left out and added.ĭo a straight print test with a small color test file that doesn't use up a lot of ink. Note the differences in feature selections in all the menus. This can get complicated so before you start switching drivers or downloading anything, try printing from another app like Safari, Preview or any other app that allows printing. Neville, this is in response to your message you sent me. ![]() The older driver the one that worked perfectly) is probably on a back up disk but I've no idea what it might be called or how I would install it even if I found it. I've got through loads of paper trying various profiles, paper, print from Photoshop/print from Printer options and all the usual stuff but nothing helps.Īny suggestions would be gratefully received. Epson, as you might have guessed, have been no use at all. ![]() I'm loathe to buy a new printer as there's nothing wrong with this one but it looks like I might have to. As far as I'm concerned it displays the colour correctly. I'm not worried about calibrating my screen. I should point out that I'm a working photographer and what I see on screen is the same colour as what appears in print and what prints out from my smaller Epson R285 printer. That being the ONLY change, my prints now have a magenta/dark look to them, not severe but enough to want to correct, but nothing I've tried makes it any better. The original driver for my R1800, which had produced perfect prints with a minimum of setting-changing, would no longer work with Snow Leopard and I had to download Epson's latest driver. The hard disk on my Mac Book Pro crashed and I had to reinstall everything.
