Aperture printing on the Epson R2400

I use an iMac, Intel version. My printing is fine from Photoshop CS2. I am able to set all of the color management and print settings. However, when I try to set the printer settings or color management during the print phase of Aperture I get the message that "This panel is not compatible with your computer". Consequently, the prints are unacceptable. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding why or how this is happening and how I can get some control of the printer settings? Thanks

If you installed the driver from the CD included with the printer then you may have installed one that is not intended to be used with an Intel mac. Go to http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid= 54861&prodoid=53540920&infoType=Downloads&platform=Macintosh and download the correct version of the driver for your mac and be sure to follow the instructions for removing the incorrect driver.
I hope this solves your problem but if you have the correct driver already installed, then obviously this is not the issue.
I am using a Dual G5 PowerPC and have not had this problem. However, I downloaded the ICC profiles that Epson provides and have had problems using them in Aperture. You can visit this post http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=782089&tstart=0 for a description of the problem. Unfortunately I have not received any help from this forum for the problem. If you decide to try the Premium ICC profiles please let me know if you experience the same problem.
Best of luck. The 2400 is a great printer. I am very pleased with the results I am getting, even with the profiles provided with the printer, but the ink cost is higher than I expected.

Photoshop CC will not print to my Epson r2400

When I try to print from PS, I get the error window "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents".
I am using a Mac OS X 10.10.2 and my Photoshop CC 2014 will not print to the Epson r2400.
I can print with Illustrator CC and all other software programs on my Mac.
I've uninstalled my Epson r2400 Drivers, uninstalled everything associated with the printer drivers and reinstalled the new drivers after emptying the trash and restarting the Mac. My problem still persists. It seems to me it is a Photoshop Software problem!

Try opening "print" while holding the spacebar; this discards any saved values. Also, make sure the correct printer it set as default. If these fail, try resetting print: Open print and hold Option. The cancel button will become a reset - click the reset button.

Can MacBook with Leopard OS do two-sided printing on the Epson NX515?

I am looking to buy an all in one printer, and the Epson NX515 seems best in a number of respects, especially the fact that its ink cartridges come in separate colors, which leads to much less waste of ink. But there is one item in the Epson documentation that concerns me ... the fact that two-sided printing may not be supported by Mac. Does anyone know if the Mac Book A1181 with Leopard OS does or does not support two-sided printing?
Thank you.

Hi @Blazer5,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that you are wondering how to setup two-sided printing with your HP Envy 5532. I am happy to help!
To setup the duplex printing, I would recommend to go through this guide, Printing on Both Sides of the Paper (Duplex) for HP ENVY 5530 e-All-in-One and Deskjet Ink Advantage..., as it has instructions for both Windows and Mac. Also here are some guidelines for you to follow:
Understanding the following items can help you avoid possible problems when printing on both sides of the page.
Do not print on both sides of the following types of paper, or jams might occur:
Transparencies
Envelopes
Photo paper
Glossy paper
Paper lighter than 60 g/m2 (16 lb).
Paper heavier than 105 g/m2 (28 lb).
Several kinds of paper require a specific orientation when you print on both sides of a page. These include letterheads, preprinted paper, and paper with watermarks and pre-punched holes. The printer prints the first side of the paper first. Load the paper with top edge first and the print side down.
Also, this post, Vista / Win 7 Duplex Printing Troubleshooting Guide, by @Bob_Headrick. Might have some answers for you as well.
In the print dialog box (after selecting File, and Print), you will see a box next to two-sided printing, that can be checked or un-checked, in order to toggle in-between the two functions.
To change the print quality, you will want to go through this guide, HP ENVY 5530 e-All-in-One series and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 4510 e-All-in-One series - Print Docum....
For future reference, here is your printer's user guide.
Hope this helps!

I am trying to set up using my printer wirelessly through airport. I have a macbook and my husband can print wirelessly from his Macbook Pro but I can't. What do I have to do to set mine up? The printer is an Epson R2400

Is there a cd that came with the printer?
If so, put in the cd and that will help you set it up.
If not, I think macs come with a program that helps you set up printers.
Also make sure that the printer is connected to the same network.
Make sure the printer is on.

CS5 printer issues with Epson R2400

Upgraded (????) to CS5
Win7-64, Photoshop CS5 - 64 & 32, Epson R2400 (Epson Easy Photo Print v1.51 Drivers)
CS5 will not print multiple copies. Can change it in printer settings, makes no difference.
CS5 will not allow me to change orientation to landscape. Have to go to printer settings. Will not stick. have to change it everytime I want to print the same file.
CS5 will lose the printer. Have to change the printer then change it back. "because the printer does not exist" is the error message. (Not even a complete sentence!)
Printer profile will not stick.
These issues did not occur with CS4.

You need the 6.5dAs drivers from http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?oid=54861&infoType=Downloads
The copies issue is a known problem. Sorry about that. But the other problems are not things we saw when testing with those drivers.

Printing custom sizes - Epson R2400

I am trying to print A7 cards (7 x10 paper folded to a 5 x 7 card) on an Epson R2400 from a PowerMac 2.8 with Leopard. The problem is that every time I enter the custom paper size the printer gives me a paper feed error and won't load it. The paper isn't the problem as it feeds fine if I lie and tell the printer it is an 8 x 10 and any custom size automatically produces the same error. Any thoughts on how I can correct this problem?

I don't print off a Mac, but I have printed with a 2400, so I may or may not be talking through my hat. Could it be that you have checked "Borderless" in the printer driver? I know the printer will only let that option work for a few pre-set sizes. MB

Dark prints using CS5 & Epson R2400 ongoing problem, now new PC and magenta cast

Have tried every combination of set up in trying to solve problem. Had One Eye (now defunct lamp) various experts etc etc but compensated for dark prints by having screen lightened to bizarre point. Now having a new PC am faced with massive magenta cast. I really don't want to buy a new printer but have had the dark print problem since I got it. Have spoken to Adobe and Epson at length but eventually washed their hands. I feel it is something to do within the computer set up or Photoshop - don't think its printer problem. All drivers updated regularly. Thought it could be monitor problem but don't really think this is the case.
Any ideas welcome as I think I have tried everything. Use Windows 7.
Am retired and not very technically minded! Serious amateur photographer.

I have an Epson 1280 printer, and I have the same problem with prints. Part of the problem are the different color profiles in the monitor and the printer. The other problem to deal with is the type of photo paper used. While looking at web sites, I found that the ICC Color Profiles for the printer are on the install disc and are not automatically installed. One of the links describes which folder to install the profiles on both Mac & Windows computers.
As station_two wrote, calibrate your monitor first.

I do not have an exact answer for you because I have not figured it out myself, but here is what I have been doing on my prints. I might recommend that you work on a copy of the original.
In the Layer floating window, create a New Adjustment Layer by clicking on the half black/half white circle, and choose Hue/Saturation or Color Balance or Selective Color. Because the prints come out too red, you want to increase the green sliders, which is the opposite of red, and/or decrease the red. (Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Color Balance) is another way to do it.
Under the menu item Image>Adjust Levels. Move the center triangle at the bottom to lighten the mid-range, or use the center dialog box and change it to 1.20 or 1.30, for example.
Now press Print with Preview (but you really are not going to print).
When the dialog box comes up, make sure the Print Space: dropdown is set to Epson Paper or whatever you are using.
I have been using Relative Colorimetric. Press Print. Another dialog box will come up. At the bottom will be a button for Preview, which will generate a preview of what the photo will look like if printed.
Keep going back to the original and double click on the Adjustment Layer and adjusting it until the Print Preview looks ok.
Be sure when you actually print that the paper and color settings in the Epson dialog box match your settings in Photoshop. There is a dropdown that has Print Settings or Color. Often they don't match unless you print several photos in a row. I have found printing at the lower settings (less than 360 dpi) also messes up the color.
It is not an excellent solution, but until I can figure out more, I am in the same boat as you.
I'd suggest saving the lightening and color adjustments as two different Actions.

Borderless printing with the Epson R800

I've tried everything I can think of and have been unable to make borderless 4x6 prints. In the printer setup I chose 4x6 boarderless, but it seems to ignore the setting. Any suggestions?
iMac G5 (Intel) Mac OS X (10.4.5)

transco:
Is the printer designation you're using titled something like Sytlus Photo R800(Sheet Feeder-Borderless)? If not then launch the Print Center Utility and located and install that version of the driver. Many of the Epson printers will have two drivers that you should install, one the normal and the other the borderless one.
Then try the following if Father John's doesn't do it. This is essentially the same, maybe just stated a little differently:
Steps for printing 4 x 6 prints from iPhoto:
crop the photo to 4 x 6 beforehand in iPhoto.
in Page Setup select your printer, proper page orientation and 4x6 or 4x6 borderless
click once on the picture you want to print to make sure it's selected.
now click on the Print button in iPhoto.
in the iPhoto print window, select your printer again, select Style = "Standard Prints", Size= 4x6 and click on One photo per page.
click on the Print button.

After iMac upgrade to Snow Leopard print quality with Epson R2400 is very bad. Anyone have a workaround?

Recently attended excellent workshop about the Fine Art of Printing with R Mac Holbert and John Paul Caponigro. They indicated printing using iMac computers was difficult. I upgraded to Snow Leopard and now print output quality is so poor that the results are totally usable.
A call to Epson support on December 9th was of no help.
Is there a workaround for this problem? Thanks so much.

Re
yes i use and install many new imac , your problem of "colorimetrie" could generaly sovled by
calibrate your screen and use icc profile from printer / scanner manufacturer
mac os software tool to do tha is locate into , app folder -> utility folder -> Colorsync utility
look for it
exemple :
and from system preferences -> monitor -> color , calibrate button

Epson R2400: Printing Issue: Dark printing after 10.7?

This question goes out to all of the Epson R2400 printer owners whom, if you're like me and have had one for a while, seem to have printing issues after every little change in the OS:
In Brief: Printing to the Epson R2400 via USB direct from iMac was printing well; outputing from InDesign, PhotoShop, and Acrobat Pro (all are CS5). I am not 100% sure because this is not a printer that I use daily, but I believe that I am having these printing issues after upgrading to 10.7.2 from 10.7.1.
The issue is that an output is very dark overall, or (after tweaking settings) will have a dramatic color shift to heavy magenta/black. In general, my traditional printer settings no longer produce correct outputs.
Anyone that has any suggestions or similar issues, I would like to hear about it.
Notes:
1. Yes, I completed all of the tradional voodoo magic: I cleared the printer caches, removed the printer, setup a new printer, updated the drivers via Apple software update, then once that didn't work, updated the drivers from Epson - even reverting to the older v6.5 drivers. I'm now back to the v8 drivers from the Apple software update.
2. My printing tests are being conducted using a standard color test file that I've used to calibrate color on this Epson R2400 for years. I generally know that when this file doesn't print correctly something is afoot.
3. My first attempt at correction was simply checking head alignment and completing a general cleaning of the heads. Didn't help.
4. General question: Does anyone know of a compatible printer manufacturer of similar quality of output that actually cares about Mac users? Epson just never seems to really care about keeping their Apple drivers up to date or making sure that they work properly. Humble opinion.

Ok. I believe that it all comes down to the use of a third-party ink.
I didn't realize that there was a switch to a "refill" ink (to save money it appears) on the light-light-black and magenta. Switching back to Epson ink cleared the matter up.
I guess sometimes it's the simple things that elude us...

Epson R2400 Advanced B/W printing

Hi
I am trying to print Advanced B/W to an Epson R2400 in Aperture ...
Normally when printing colour you set the print driver to Color Management Off and select an appropriate Colorsync ICC profile in the Aperture print dialog. All this is fine.
When printing Advanced B/W you need to have no color profile active and let the driver do the color management. For example, in Photoshop you select "Let Printer Determine Colors".
In Aperture you can choose "System Managed" or a Colorsync Profile. There is no option for switching off color management.
"System Managed" seems to mean to use the default Colorsync profile for the device, which would be an Epson ICC profile. Is this correct ?
Or is the Mac smart enough to work out that the driver wants to take control when I select System Managed ?
Anybody know ?
Thanks

Guy,
This is why it would be nice to know the definative
answer for an Apple engineer.
Those are hard to come by. If you do get ahold of an Apple Engineer tie him up until I can ask a few questions too. I suspect that the answer that Kendall gave above is correct though I wouldn't bet the farm on it.
I wonder if there is some experiment that could be done to check for certain? How about using the save as PDF button to intercept the image after it leaves Aperture and before the Epson driver gets its hands on it to see what color space it is in? I'll fiddle with that later too.
If what you are working on is a digital camera RAW file that you wish to print in Advanced B&W mode then there has to be some sort of conversion to a profile done before it goes to the printer driver. RAW files live in Aperture's internal color space and that's not something the Epson driver will understand.
Your OP says that a profile conversion messes up the Epson driver's Advanced B&W mode. I haven't heard this--what's your source for that information? Is it really true that the driver could handle a file in Adobe RGB but not one converted to "SRP 2400 Default" profile? That seems unlikely but it's a strange universe......

Epson r2400 printing margins

I am trying to print cards on Strathmore paper with an Epson r2400. The size is 6 7/8" x 10". I keep getting a big left and top margin.
BTW: Aperture insists in cropping that the geometry is 6.9 x 10, and insists in the print dialog that it is 7x10 ".
I have tried printing the calibration page, but it prints with a 1/8" margin on the left and top, making the numbers useless. I have tried to guess at what the calibration (using 40 for right and 24 for bottom) but nothing seems to work.
Can anyone explain to me what calibration is supposed to do, since it doesn't seem to have any effect. And just what do those calibration numbers mean, anyway?
Until I figure it out, it's back to Photoshop for printing....
mahalo,
paul

Paul,
Did you actually get the Epson r2400 to print on 7x10 stock? I have scored 7x10 stock, for folded 5x7 cards (Moab Entrada; really nice paper!). I had no problem working with this paper & printer combination (actually, my printer is the Epson R1800) in PC land, but when I define a 7x10 custom paper size on my new Mac, it doesn't seem to stick. Mac lets me define it, but when I send the print job to the printer, it bombs and I get a message that media is loaded incorrectly. This has happened from Aperture, and from Print Explosion.
Any clues?

Printing to Epson R2400 - Lightroom 1.3 vs Photoshop CS2

I'm printing a fair amount of B&W images in Lightroom using Velvet Fine Art paper and Advanced B&W Management in the Epson printer driver. As instructed by Epson, the printer setting in Lightroom is "Managed by Printer", which should be correct, right, except that my printed images are coming out a little darker than my calibrated monitor suggests they should be.
Epson technical support said that some users are having difficulty printing from Lightroom to the R2400, and suggested that I try printing from Photoshop instead. So, using the same settings in Photoshop, and reprinting the image, I did notice a difference.
I'm wondering, are there any printing issues between Lightroom 1.3 and the Epson R2400 at this point in time. If not, why would the same image come out differently in Photoshop if the same printer settings are being used?
