Color Setting in CS4 for printing to Epson R2400 in the UK ?

Hi all. I'm a newbie to CS4 and have been having trouble deciding on which color settings to use with which printer profle/standard. I have an Epson Stylus R2400 printer and I'm not sure what the color settings should be to print on Epson Premium Glossy in the UK. All the info /videos i have seen refer to North America and I'm unsure if I should be using these settings or Europe Prepress 2. I have currently set the printer profile to Adobe RGB (1998), but have the option to choose SPR2400 Premium Glossy profile with Matt, Fine Art(which I downloaded from Epson .com and I believe to be a US profile and I'm not sure if this is the right one to be using in the UK )and others. Can anyone advise me please!
Regards Denis

europe pretends to be printing more saturated C and M inks
(most of the times it doesn't)
and it shouldn't matter anyway
a well color managed workflow is meant to reproduce pictures as accurately as the individual devices permit, regardless of gamut
use the Epson profile for your paper
or [better], make your own with an EyeOne Pro or a color Munki

How can I print a full frame photo from iPhoto 11? Even though I click on scale to fit paper size, it crops both ends of the photo in landscape set up. I have an Epson R1800 with the latest drivers.

Photoshop not printing to Epson R2400 in Snow Leopard

Hi there
I can print from Microsoft Word and Textpad fine. But Photoshop CS4 will not print anything to my Epson R2400. The job briefly appears in the queue, then disappears, with no error message.
When I try and Preview from inside the Epson Print dialogue, it just shows a blank page, so I'm pretty sure it's Photoshop that's at fault, as Previewing a similar job from Microsoft Word turns out fine.
Has anyone else had this error and found a way to fix it?

I've the exact same problem - though I'm using Lightroom 2.4 (64 bit) and Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac.
Printing from Textpad & Pages works fine - but every print from Lightroom and Photoshop Elements just disappears (like Monkeytennis2 described).
I've tried different drivers: the new 6.57 - and the older 6.12 (via Rosetta). The Gutenprint 5.2.3 works, but the quality is just miserable.
This is indeed a strange thing ... and I hope someone has an idea how to fix it.
EDIT: has anyone tried this http://forums.adobe.com/message/2215478 ... ?

How do I get CS6 to not distort color when using Lion and printing from Epson R2880?

Ever since I up-graded to CS5 , the color has been distorted. It is not an Epson Lion problem because printing from preview or iPhoto the color is perfect.
Adobe has known about this problem since January 23, 2012. Their help people have taken over my computer for hours at a time and not been able to discover the source of the problem
I thought they might have fixed it with CS6 but no luck I chose use CS4 settings because CS4 had worked.
I printed using Printer Manages Color and color matching, epson color. I selected the correct media. The prints came out dark. The yellows turned green and the greens turned blue/green, reds became dull and blues a bit dark.
This is most upsetting because I cannot afford to buy a new printer and ink. Also I should not have to buy new equipment because Adobe cannot make their product work correctly.

If the printer prints colors accurately from Lion apps,which it does, then the problem is in Adobe.
Uh...ok...then the REST of the FREE world is going down the tubes because obviously, Adobe has screwed up?
Some of us are using LR4 and CS6 to print and getting accurate and excellent results with Lion (10.7.3) so the question begging for an answer is why can't you?
Read very carefully what Chris wrote...the odds are REAL GOOD you are NOT using the correct settings...but since you don't bother to show or explain the EXACT settings you are using when printing, we'll never know. Will we?
If the vast magority of the user base is NOT having an issue, to what do you attribute the disconnect? User Error is the single most likely result...
You want help? Or do you want to argue?
I know a little bit about printing and I seem to be able to print with zero issues on a wide variety of Epson printers...you wanna place blame or do you wanna learn how to fix the problem? (clue, the odds are it isn't Adobe nor Epson leading to the problems, it's you bud).

Inconsistent Color Prints on Epson R2400

Okay, I'm frustrated. I ran out of ink on my epson r2400, specifically light light black and light magenta. I changed cartridges and now the color is off. I haven't changed the profiles or settings and the image is the same (I was printing multiple copies of the same image when I ran out of ink). The prints are much more magenta now . The inks are epson inks, the paper is Costco paper, the profile I got directly from Costco. I ran a nozzle check, and it was fine. The combination worked very well until I ran out of ink.
I contacted Epson, to see if they could explain it or if they ever have ink inconsistencies. They assured me that their ink quality is perfectly consistent. Therefore, they said, the problem must be with the paper or my settings in Photoshop.
Has anyone experienced a color shift simply from changing cartridges before? Any suggestions on what might have happened within Photoshop to cause such a problem? Any suggestions at all?
Thanks,
Steve

Thanks for the latest tips, though the problem has been solved!!
I ran through the light magenta cartridge in question making a lot of color prints where the match wasn't critical. I replaced the cartridge with another epson light magenta and printed the same photo that initially caused my concern. Amazingly it is back to where it belongs, identical to the prints I printed before I made the last cartridge change.
Therefore, in my opinion, the cartridge was indeed the culprit. Surprising yes, disappointing yes, rare yes, but it really, truly did happen.
I've always been a fan of epson, but it sure is infuriating when a manufacturer places the blame on someone else and refuses to even consider that the fault could possibly be in their own quality control.
Though I will most likely stick with epson when I eventually search for another printer, I may now entertain other brands. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Steve

Photoshop CS3 crashes when I try to print from Epson R2400

Hi,
For no reason that I can see, when I try to print from my Epson R2400, Photoshop CS3 crashes.
It was working fine up to yesterday with no issues.
I have re installed the drivers etc but no use.
I also cannot choose Printer Manages Colors, as it is now greyed out.
When the the Printer dialogue opens and I click on the Page Set up I get the Error that "Photoshop CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to close"
Any ideas please?

Thanks for the replies.
I understand now that the procedure is probably the reason.
I was just experimenting as LAB colours are colours we see through our eyes, while RGB, CMYK etc are "computer" colours and so I use LAB colours a lot, before switching back to RGB.
I normally switch to LAB mode and click on the Lightness channel, then play with adjustments of that channel. This time I decided to mess around and see what would happen if I removed all channels except the Lightness one....
Converting to greyscale for me is not enough unfortunately and LAB B+W provides much better contrast and tone than hitting CTRL+Shift+U to greyscale.
Again, I understand what you say, my point being though that Photoshop should not crash because I incorrectly remove the channels, perhaps a warning to tell me I can't do it would be better.
I'll pass this onto Adobe anyway.
cheers

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?

Iphoto will not print to Epson r2400

After downloading the most recent updates from Apple, I can no longer print from iphoto on my epson r2400 photo printer. I am running the latest drivers from the epson website but to no avail. I have even redownloaded the drivers and reinstalled them.
Whenever I try to print a picture the only things that happen is the printer begins to make noise like it is going to print and then I get a red exclamation point on the printer icon in the dock and a message saying "jobs stopped." Prior to this download everything worked fine in both iphoto and photoshop elements.
I also have an hp printer hooked up that I only use to print documents and it works fine. Any help someone could give me would be greatly appreciated.

sunseekr5:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions (and go Tigers!). Try removing the printer drivers with Printer Setup Utility and then reinstall them. If that doesn't help you can run Printer Setup Repair (available at VersionTracker.com) and see if that won't help.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Issues printing from Epson R2400.

I ran Aperture 2.1.2 with an Epson Stylus R2400 printer. I have used this setup without problems in the past. Yet, a few days ago I updated the Epson driver to version x.x (download file from Epson epson12491.dmg). Since then I have not been able to print.
*Detailed issue*: when I print, the information leaves Aperture and makes it to the queue. It promptly leaves the queue and it never makes it to the printer. The printer show no sign if having received the information (no blinking green light).
*Additional Information*:
(1) I can get it to print from Text Edit, but not from Aperture.
(2) I tried from both computers (Mac Pro and Mac Book Pro, with the same results.
(3) I have deleted all printers and reset print information.
(4) I was successful printing with the prior version (yes.. I know! I wonder why I updated!).
(5) I can print from both computer to other printes (both from within Aperture and from other applications).
(6) I have tried printing through Firewire directly attached to computer, USB in same conditions and USB through Apple Router. In the past I could print from any if these scenarios.
I called Epson, and as soon as I was able to print from another app, they disengaged. Any suggestions will be gladly appreciated. Thanks SO much. Martin.

I can suggest reverting to your older Epson print driver.
You have to uninstall the printer driver, by running the Epson installer and choosing uninstall.
Then Install your original printer driver, you should have the original Epson CD.

The words in the .docx (MSWord 2010) file are getting merged when the file is transferred to another computer for printing. What could be the reason?

The words in my .docx file are getting merged when the file is transferred to another computer for printing. For eg. the sentence "rate of success ......" is displayed as "rateof success" on the other computer. What could
be the reason for this? How to solve this issue?

Have you checked that the document is using the exact same font on both machines? If the second machine doesn't have the font installed that's used in the original document on the first machine, Word will pick the closest matching font, and that may
display slightly differently.

Is there anyway to set a passcode for my iPhone/iPad, but prevent the device from being disabled?

My wife and I have iPhones, and also have an iPad. We also have three children, and recently they have been trying to guess our passcodes so that they can watch videos and play games. Trouble is, after 10 attempts, the device will disable for 60 seconds, and then if the 11th attempt is wrong, the device will disable for 5 minutes, etc. My iPad is currently disabled for 60-minutes. Grrr.
Is there anyway to set a passcode to keep the children out, and yet prevent the device from being disabled on successive attempts? I realise that this feature is there to protect our devices from brute-force attacks, but we are being penalised, in that our devices become disabled for a period of time.

Well, so you have to ask: Is the problem your iPad or your children? Another question: If they're not to watch videos or play games, then why are they on the iPad in the first place?
Obviously you already know the answer to your question; there is no way to set it up the way that you want to. If you nonetheless feel that you should be able to do that, then put together your best case for it and make your wishes known directly to apple via their established Feedback links:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
Posting here is no substitute for doing that

Lightroom 3, Epson R2400 and the dreaded magenta cast

A customer called me to say her printer was broken and nothing she could do would make her Epson R2400 print accurately from Lightroom on her iMac running Snow Leopard. I visited expecting to have to sort out a double profiling issue or a clogged printer.
However, this was not the case. A nozzle check revealed very mild clogging on the light cyan cartridge but nothing too bad and it cleared quickly. Checking the print settings in Lightroom and the Epson driver settings suggested that there wasn't a problem there either - colour managed by a profile in Lightroom with printer colour management turned off. A couple of test prints resulted in images with a definite over-all magenta cast. Plodding through threads on this forum and others came up with all the usual profile issues which I reckoned were not applicable in this case. Still, I downloaded and reinstalled the Epson driver and also the icc profiles for the papers being used, in this instance those supplied by Permajet, in case there was some corruption. The problem persisted.
Now there are a lot of speculative solutions out on the web, some of them involving tweaks to the OS, others recommending monitor profiling (not the problem here) and some suggeting the use of elaborate presets to distort the colours to a printable result. None of these seemed useful - the screen colour was fine and the histograms weren't unbalanced in a magenta direction. It should just work.
Then I wondered about the little 16 Bit checkbox. What if I ticked that? Result - PERFECT. Lovely colour immediately. Now, I'm not sure why printing in 16 Bit should sort out the magenta cast in this case but it does. There is a general opinion, even in books such as that by Martin Evening, that 16 Bit is an interesting option but not vital. In the case outlined here it is vital.
So, if you are having magenta cast problems try ticking the 16 Bit box. It may just save your last clumps of hair from being torn out.

I wouldn't argue with you re the R2400 and its capabilities as it isn't mine and I didn't have any of its literature while trying to get to the bottom of the problem. The profiles I tried were Epson's own and a Permajet one from their website. Both produced magenta results until 16 Bit was turned on, or at least that seemed the trigger for the better results. Unexpected, I agree.

HELP! Convert JPG to CMYK for print on Epson Stylus Pro 4880 problems

Hello all!
I need to print a JPG file to an Epson Stylus Pro 4880 printer and keep the original colors. The JPG file is of a company logo containging text/graphic. I use CS5 to convert the file to CMYK and save it as an Adobe PDF. When I print it everything looks good but there is a reddish outline around everything. Anyone have an idea how I can get rid of the outline? I am using the US Coated (SWOP) v2 for the CMYK scheme.
Help! I need to print out some logo tags for the customer.
Thanks in advance, Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

wish I could help but I am Mac and Essentials is not in my work flow!
