Epson print profile problem. Prints overexposed.

I am doing something wrong so here it goes. I was printing on Epson semi gloss paper and all was fine. I switched to Epson Premium Glossy paper, switch to what I think is the proper printing profile according to the Epson website, but now when I print all my photos are overexposed. On the screen they look fine. I have tried to adjust using Aperture but it appears I cannot adjust enough to make a difference. My printer is an Epson R2400, I believe all my drivers are up to date, as well as my Mac software. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I am pretty sure there is a bug in Aperture, because I can get perfect prints from Preview or almost any other app, but with Aperture 2.1.1 and Mac OS X 10.5.5, my colors are off. Note, my problem is prints are too dark, not too light, and my prints from Aperture have a green cast.
After struggling with this for a while, I think I have a work around. I posted it here: http://blogs.oreilly.com/aperture/2008/06/printing-tips.html. Copied below, for your convenience. I hope it helps.

I am using a Epson R1900 (which is a huge improvement from my Epson Stylus Photo 870). I have a calibrated display, and colors are on very good on the display.
I use the latest printer driver from Epson. NOT the Gutenprint, gimp, or cups print drivers. I tried those, and was not pleased.
Here is my workflow and settings.
Select Print (image, book, whatever) to get the printer dialog. Select your printer. Then (this is important), select ColorSync Profile = SystemManaged.
Now, hit the print setting button. Select the driver specific setting from the pop-up menu. On an Epson, it is called "Print Settings". Then select your paper type, color= color, 16bits, color settings= 'Off (No Color Adjustment)', print quality, and speed. If you have advanced settings, check those. My advanced setting tells me the name of my colorsync profile. Very handy if you are going to calibrate your printer for different papers.
Now everything is set up. It should print fine. But is doesn't. At least in Aperture. So, hit Preview in the main print dialog box. That should send a PDF temporary file to Preview. In Preview, select print. Now do all the settings again.
In Preview, there is a "Color Matching" setting on the popup menu. Select Color Matching, ColorSync (as opposed to EPSON Color Controls). I select profile "Automatic" which gives the same profile noted above under advanced settings.
Now, finally, you can print. And the prints look great.
From any application besides Aperture, the colors are so good on the print, I did not even bother to calibrate the printer. The stock profiles are perfect. Using the work around above, I also get excellent color.
Using Aperture, with either the colorsync profile selected in Aperture, or using System Managed, I get poor results. Too dark with a green cast. But by sending the print to Preview first, I am able to work around the bug.

  • Canon IP3000 printer profile problem in Lion

    I have a Macbook Pro with Lion installed on it. I was given a good working Canon IP3000 printer, and decided to hook it up to my laptop. I found the Canon website driver for it and installed it. Once I open my Photoshop CS5, and go to print, I see the IP3000 in the window, but it crashes Photoshop every time. I found out it is not compatible with Lion. I tried as much as I can to delete the profile from my system, Colorsync folder, etc. I searched for Canon and IP3000, and nothing is left.
    Question,
    1.why is it still showing up when I open Photoshop? It's still crashing Photoshop.
    2. Is there a third party printer profile that will work with my IP3000 and Lion?

    The driver files would have been added to /Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinters. If you haven't done so already, you may want to remove the contents of this folder.
    When the printer was created, files from the above folder would have been copied to hidden directories, such as ./etc/cups. Removing the printer from Print and Scan should have removed these files but there may be a remnant or two that is causing the crash. A reset of the printing system should help clean this up.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4297
    Note that this action will remove all devices from Print and Scan, but not the driver files in /Library/Printers, so you will just need to add the printer again.
    As for a supporting driver, since you want to print from Photoshop then I would recommend you purchase PrintFab
    http://www.printfab.net/
    This will give the best results, providing you are using Photo paper.
    One last thing. The iP3000 is old and is not going to give great results compared to newer models of printers.

  • Can not save print profiles in print templates

    I can not save print profiles on color managemet tab with the print templates.
    And for my previously saved templates, I saved related profiles with the templates, but now when I click on the templates, they show empty space in place of related profiles on the color management tab.
    How can I solve this problem?
    Thanks.

    It happened today, when I play with the profiles. I don't know how could I do that ... but paper profiles can not be saved with print templates and with print collections. That section even does not have any selection, it is empty. I'm sure that it will create some confusion for me later when printing.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Printer sharing problem: printer not found by other Macs over network

    We have 2 iMacs and 1 PowerBook, all connected to network through a Belkin router. One of the iMacs has an Epson Stylus hardwired (USB) to it. Printer sharing is ON. In the past, the other two Macs found the printer over the network and printed fine. Recently, they can no longer find the Epson over the network, indeed, when we try to "add printer" in their Printer Utilities, they no longer find any printer at all. Why did it use to work and then stop for no apparent reason, no changes were made (except for occasional need to restart the router if we lost our connection)? What are we missing?

    As you suggested, I repaired permissions in all my Macs. That helped; the other Macs could find the shared printer. Then later on I needed to shut off both the host iMac and the printer. When I turned them back on, once again the other 2 Macs couldn't find the printer?! Since I had just repaired permissions earlier in the day I didn't think it could be that again. Then, I printed one page from the hardwired host iMac, and voila!, right after that page printed the other two Macs could spot the shared printer over the network again. I'm glad they came back online, but wish I knew what the heck was going on?! Why would printing one page from the host bring the others back, and did the earlier repair of permissions really have anything to do with it??

  • Screen & Printer Profile settings CS3

    Hello there,
    I have been given completely varying (and conflicting) information from different sources (internet, colleagues, suppliers, lecturers) and want to put to bed how is best to set up color profiles.
    Kit:
    Windows 7 PC
    Printer Epson R2880 with continious ink flow system
    Custom Photo Paper
    LG Monitor
    Photoshop CS3
    Below is how I set up my colour profiles in the pc control panel:
    Printer Default Profile (applied under color management, devices):
    Photo paper / Ink Company give us a custom profile for the printer / paper / ink combo we have
    Monitor Default Profile (applied under color management, devices):
    Custom profile created by us using an Xrite i1 display pro
    Photoshop Color Settings (Edit, Color settings):
    "Working Space RGB" - i select the custom profile that I created for the monitor - this doesn't seem right
    "Management Policies - convert to working RGB"
    Print settings:
    Select the Epson Printer and also select" color management tab" (rather than "output")
    "Document selected" ticked in brackets says "custom RGB profile"
    "Color Handling - Photoshop Managed Colors" is selected
    "Printer Profile - custom printer profile" is selected (this is the same one applied to the printer elsewhere)
    "Perceptual" & Black Point Compensation are also selected
    I feel like I am double applying profiles, very lost and needing help (one socalled professional I spoke to didn't even know you could manually apply a profile in windows to a device, he just always selected using print preferences in photoshop!)
    I used to work in a pro photolab and colors are critical, with the digital era I find getting from what is on the screen to the print very difficult to get accurate and more consistent.
    Any help and opinions would be greatly appreciated .
    Thanks

    Steve,
    Have you tried a custom RGB test sheet (maybe with notes on settings written into it for each combination) and a waste of raw materials?

  • Windows Printer Profiles

    Please can someone tell me if it's possible to save print profiles on printer drivers shared by SMB?
    I have followed several posts/internet how-tos on setting up automatic download of printer drivers to Windows machines from our Xserve and it appears to be working fine.
    We have an HP Color LaserJet 4700N using the latest driver from HP. We have set the driver to default to printing in grayscale to save color toner. Some documents we print need to be printed on a specific paper with color so I wanted to save a "Print Task Quick Sets" to allow the user to specify this without having to remember all the options. When I edit the server printer properties it appears to save the "Quick Sets" but after closing the dialog and re-opening, the "Quick Sets" are missing. Is this supposed to work with Samba sharing or am I expecting too much?
    If it should be working, is there something I should check/do to fix it?
    Thanks,

  • Possible solution for problems printing with ICC profiles - esp. R2400

    (N.B. This is long because I've decided to go in to details about the background of the problem etc.. Also note that whilst my experience is with the Epson R2400, anyone with problems printing using ICC profiles in Aperture may find this post helpful, as will be explained further down the post.)
    Ok, here's the situation. I've been an Aperture user for over a year, and an R2400 owner for half a year. In that time I have done a huge amount of experimenting, but I've never managed to get Aperture to work perfectly with Epson's 'premium' R2400 ICC profiles - the ones you can download from their site which are better than the ones provided 'in the box'. This hasn't been too big a deal because, in fact, the R2400 does a rather good job just set to 'System Managed' in Aperture and 'Epson Vivid' with a gamma of 1.8 in the printer driver. Nevertheless, it really annoyed me that something that should work wasn't, which is why I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out what's going on. Having said that, I have come across a method which will give you pretty good prints out of your Epson R2400 using the premium profiles in Aperture - it's not perfect, but it's the best you're going to get if you want to use those profiles in Aperture. I understand the words 'it's not perfect' aren't what photography experts would probably want to hear, however, I have seen a few anguished posts from R2400 owners in here before, so I think some people may find it useful.
    The whole reason why Aperture is hopeless at using the R2400's premium profiles is because - unusually - their default rendering intent is set to 'relative colorimetric' rather than 'perceptual'. You might say 'but that's good - it means you get more accurate colours!', and if you do, you're right... however, there's a snag. To get an image to reproduce well using Epson's premium profiles and relative colorimetric rendering, you really need to use black point compensation. This is where the trouble lies: Aperture's black point compensation is diabolical to the point of being unusable when used with relative colorimetric rendering - I feel I need to be awarded compensation every time I've ever tempted to use the setting. So because BPC in Aperture is unusable, that effectively makes the premium profiles unusable too, because Aperture always uses the default rendering intent specified in the profile.
    The solution? Use perceptual rendering instead. Ok, so you can't change the rendering intent in Aperture, which makes that sound a tad difficult. However, as I said in the above paragraph, Aperture always obeys the default rendering intent specified in the profile... so you can see where we're going with this: we need to change the ICC profiles' default rendering intent from 'relative colorimetric' to 'perceptual'. I did some digging around and found one or two expensive pieces of software that could do that... but then I found that, lo and behold, the Mac OS has a command-line utility which can do the job for us, for precisely £0.00. It's called SIPS or 'Scriptable Image Processing System', and you can find out some information about it here: http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn2035.html#TNTAG58 For those who don't like reading technical jargon however, here's what you need to do to convert a profile's rendering intent. First go to terminal, then type in the following command:
    sips -s renderingIntent perceptual
    Do not press 'enter' yet. Instead, add a space after 'perceptual', find the ICC profile you want to modify, and click and drag it into the terminal window. You should then find that your command looks something like this:
    sips -s renderingIntent perceptual /Users/yourname/folder/RandomProfile.ICC
    At which point you can then press 'enter', and the command will execute, giving you an ICC profile which will now make Aperture use perceptual rendering.
    There is just one further thing to be aware of after doing this: for some crazy reason, you then need to turn on BPC in Aperture for the prints to come out as good as possible. Black point compensation shouldn't make any difference when using perceptual rendering as the idea of perceptual is that it takes account of things like that anyway, however, in Aperture BPC does make a difference, so remember to turn it on to get a half decent print. In general, I find that prints made using this setup come out pretty well; they almost perfectly match prints made using the profiles with a perceptual intent in Photoshop Elements, except for the fact that Aperture blocks up the shadows a bit more than Photoshop. However, if you can live with that, you might find this is quite a workable solution.
    Now, I said near the beginning of this post that all the above can apply to other printers too. Most printer profiles have 'perceptual' set as their default rendering intent, in which case everything I've just said won't be of much help. However, If you are reading this because you're having problems with ICC profiles in Aperture, but you don't use an Epson R2400, find your problematic ICC profile, double-click on it, and take a look at the window that opens: specifically, at the 'Rendering Intent' the window mentions. If it doesn't say 'Perceptual' then it may well be worth trying the steps I've outlined in this post to set it to perceptual, to see if doing so produces an improvement when using the profile in Aperture.
    Finally, just one note of caution: if you decide to try out the steps I've detailed above on a paid-for custom-made profile, please back your profile up before messing with it. I haven't experienced any problems when using SIPS to change a profile's rendering intent, but I obviously can't guarantee that it won't do something weird and corrupt your expensive custom-made profile.
    If you have any questions, feel free to ask, although (contrary to any impression I may give) I am not a colour-management expert; I'm just someone who doesn't give up when they have a problem that should be solvable.

  • Photoshop CS5 Print Printing problem: print count and print to ICC profile

    Since Adobe still haven't acknowledge the printing issue with CS5, I start this thread to report my own problems.
    Problem 1:
    print copy count is not working. The first print is always one print regardless how many copies you set in the dialog window. The next print will actually print the copies set in the previous print job.
    This is a well documented problem, and until today no fix.  I am not too worried about this problem because I can always print one copy each time to get job done, until the day Adobe acknowledge and fix the problem.
    Problem 2:
    when I let the Photoshop manage color and print to a custome ICC profile (generated by Spyer3Print), Photoshop RANDOMLY decides to print a light colored magenta cast picture.  It's like Photoshop has used the wrong ICC.  Now every time I print a 13x19, I have to pray.  Because this thing is so random, I can't even reproduce the problem consistantly.
    here's the information about my system:
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit (not a fresh system) with 8GB RAM.  Printer drivers installed: Canon Pro9000II, Canon MP600, Epson 1400.
    I experience problem 2 after I installed CS5 with Epson 1400 printer, but not too frequent.  Later on I installed drivers for Epson R1800, Epson R2400, and I mainly print with R2400.    All the printer drivers, software updates are the lastest available.
    I was a software developer. I wrote windows application before. I am pretty sure the problem is with CS5 based on my knowledge.  If I wrote an Windows application that crashs Windows or another party's appliction, I certainly would not blame Microsoft or another party for not writing a bulletproof system. I would try to find a workaround in my own application.  That's just my take. Adobe may have different mind set. They are still pointing finger to MS and Epson.

    I don't condone the problems, but a workaround I've recently read about for the copy count problem is to do the following, in order:
    1.  Set the copy count you want.
    2.  Click the Print Settings... button to enter the printer driver setup dialog.
    3.  [OK] out.
    4.  Print
    This is reported to get the proper copy count into the print driver and make it "stick".  I just tried it and it seems to work.
    Keep in mind you may want to go through this again after printing to get the copy count to default back to 1 for the next print.

  • CS5 print dialog missing Epson 7800 profiles

    Is there a simple way to get my Epson printer profiles to load onto CS5. I'm normally quite good at solving these things by myself, but this case has me well stumped. Help anyone?

    Again: in CS5, the profiles that the driver says belong to the selected printer will show up at the top of the menu. Any custom profiles you have built for that printer will also be in the menu, in the normal alphabetical list.
    If there are no profiles at the top, that is because the driver hasn't identified any profiles as belonging to the chosen printer.
    If there are no additional profiles listed, that is because there is a problem with how you installed them on the system.
    We haven't seen any problems with this yet.

  • Epson Printer Profiles and Mac ColorSync

    I have had a consistent problem with PS CS3 printing darker than my calibrated monitor despite everything that I do with softproofing etc. Interestingly, when I print the identical image from Lightroom 2.2, the paper print is a much better match to what I am seeing on the monitor. I am beginning to wonder whether the difference has anything to do with the way these programs interact with ColorSync on the Mac. I am using an Intel iMac running OSX 10.4.11 and print with an Epson 2200 using the custom Epson paper profiles available on Epson's website. In both the Lightroom 2.2 and the CS3 I leave ColorSync set to Standard and allow LR or PS to manage the printing (No Color Management); however, when I open the Mac ColorSync Utility and examine the printer profiles there, it is using the standard Epson profiles that came with the printer driver rather than the newer ones (e.g., SP2200 Luster_PK.icc rather than SP2200 Prem.Luster1440.icc). Could this "mismatch" of printer profiles be causing a different result in LR2.2 and Photoshop? Should I change the profile in ColorSync so that it points to the new profiles?
    I'd appreciate anyone's help!!

    Also try the Photodisc PDI target image download here
    http://www.gballard.net/dl/PDI_TargetFolderONLY.zip
    And remember:
    The file (the document Source Space) is independent of Photoshop.
    The Color Management System CMS, Photoshop, ONLY uses the monitor profile for one thing: To PROOF source file on the monitor (the monitor profile has zero to do with how the file prints).
    The Color Management System CMS, Photoshop, ONLY uses the printer (target) profile Print Space for one thing: To PROOF source file on the paper (the printer profile Print Space has zero to do with how the file looks on the monitor).
    In other words:
    The printer can PROOF (print) the source file faithfully regardless of how right or wrong the monitor is set up, and
    The monitor can PROOF (display) the source file faithfully regardless of how right or wrong the printer is set up.

  • Print profiles no longer working correctly with CS6 64bit to my Epson R2880

    Hi, until recently, my print profiles were working correctly  with CS6 64bit (Win 7 ultimate 64) to my Epson R2880, they now print washed out/desaturated  but the same profiles still print correctly using Lightroom 4. has there  been an update that could have affected things or are there any other  suggestion? Thanks, Dave.

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help!
    I recently bought my first Mac, a great MacBook Pro which I love!
    I use Lightroom3 and Photoshop CS5 to edit photos and now want to print from my Epson R1800.
    I found that the prints initially came off very dark & contrasty, so I calibrated both the MBP screen and my Samsung SuncMaster 245B monitor with my Spyder2 and the Colorvision software.
    Even after establishing colour profiles for both screens, the printed image was still far darker and "heavier" than that shown on screen. This was the same whether printing from LR3 or from the Mac Preview app (it was worth trying I thought!).
    So searching for help on the web I came across this thread and now wonder whether I should uninstall my driver (6.57) and reinstall the printer with 6.23.
    Stephen did you find that this worked - did PS CS5 behave after that?
    Of course I'm trying to print some work soon and in desperation could adjust every (edited) image by brightening & reducing contrast, however with dozens to print it seems crazy to do that, not to mention wrong!
    Thanks for any help!

  • Unable to install Epson ICC printer profiles in Lion (access privileges message)

    I upgraded to Lion and cannot install Epson ICC printer profiles. When I try to install, the installation is halted with the message that I do not have enough access privileges for this installation. Yes, I am the admin (I checked, as I know this is a known issue). I have the current updates to the O/S and the Epson driver. Specifically, these are printer paper profiles for an Espon Stylus Photo R2800 printer.

    The ownership of the /Library/ColorSync directory and its contents changed in Lion.  You acutally do not have enough priviliges as admin to write to that directory anymore.  EPSON's installer does not have the ability to ask you for your password to escalate the admin privileges to root.  You should report this to EPSON and insist that they update their installer.
    There is a way to get the files installed, but it is pretty involved.  I will give you the general idea but USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.  There is a risk you could break your system and make it unusable.
    With those admonitions in mind, here's the general outline.
    1.  Go to /Library/ColorSync.  Highlight the folder and do a Get Info on it.
    2.  Under the Sharing & Permissions portion, give "everyone" the ability to Read & Write.  Then choose to have this applied to all enclosed items.
    3.  Run the EPSON installer(s).  The profiles will now install.
    4.  Change the ownership and permissions for all the installed items useing the Terminal--
    For the EPSON folder the command is 'sudo chown -R root:wheel path_to_EPSON_folder'
    For each and every item in the EPSON folder, the command is 'sudo chmod 644 path_to_item'
    5.  Open Disk Utility and Repair Permssions.

  • Epson Stylus Pro 3880 printer profiles N/A in Lightroom

    I just set up a new Epson 3880 and installed the printer driver. I could see the various Epson paper .icc profiles were being installed. But when I went to print from Lightroom they were not available in the print module when I chose Printer Profile "Other..." But when I print from Photoshop I see the 3880 profiles. And I cannot find 3880 profiles on my hard disk in either the system or my user libraries. I hope someone can solve this! Ross

    I have been through a lot of tries to solve this. But after extracting the files from the the file Pro3880.profiles, I discovered that file was in my system colorsync/profiles folder and upon repairing file permissions it was then available in Lightroom. So if you install a new 3880, look for a file of this name and if it's in your system colorsync/profiles folder and Lightroom doesn't see it, just reapir file permissions.

  • Epson 3800 printer profiles not showing up in Photoshop 3 and 5

    When I try to print to my Epson PRO 3800, asking Photoshop to handle colors, this printer profiles are not available. I have this printer for years and have always used PS CS3 to print (and handle colors).

    Thanks1
