Hi everyone,
I have been using an epson 9900 for 9 months and I still can’t configure Photoshop and the driver to have proper color consistency.
(chosing simple options, not in a very rigorous way, let me do the job with my usual epson paper … but it’s no pro attitude …)
Now I need to use a Cason Paper, and its ICC profile must be used.
See my configuration :
photoshop :
PS manages colors (it’s the only way to use downloaded profiles … and the option is generally recommanded.)
The paper/printer profile (delivered with the printer driver) is used
Soft proofing is on and configured to render this same paper/printer profile
Printer driver:
Color management is off.
Then I start the printing process and obtain a print preview that is desperatly different from the softproofing.
In fact the print preview has insane colors … and unfortunatly the result on the printer in consistent with this insanity …
I join the screens of config and preview/proofing comparison …
NB: I use no screen profile for the moment … the color schift caused by this can’t explain the difference between preview and softproofing … (as both should be schifted the same way … right ?)
ooooppppsssss …
Well i must admit it, I made a mistake.
In fact with the config I provided, the real printing result does not fit with the preview. It is consistent with the soft proofing BUT with a much lower gamma … (the result is too dark …)
This is a new problem, totally different with the one I discribed … so i think we can consider this thread over.
I try to solve the new problem … if I can’t, i’ll post a new thread …
Spend 1700 bucks and get a rip. Printing with photoshop is like driving a kia, it may get you there, but it could frustrate the hell out of you. I would recommend ergosoft.
Thank’s mtodryk !
I am going to seek info about Kia …
I have never used it or head of it …
I try to be open minded for using new software if necessary …
Bad habits are just bad … Potoshop may be one of mine …
Bye
I’m sorry. I should have clarified. A Kia is a car. I was commenting on the post above mine. Also, for driving our Epson 9600 we use EFI software. We love it. Here’s a link

We have been having some technical difficulties with the ColorForums server the last few days. I will try to repair any threads that are missing posts (like this one.) -Pat
