CS6 Printing with Epson ABW - Device Independent Profiles No Longer Permitted

With the change to the printing options in CS6, it's no longer possible to use device independent colour spaces for printing. This was a recommended practice when printing via Epson's ABW mode when not using a paper profile. What is the recommended practice with CS6? Is it to use Printer Manages Colors rather than Photoshop Manages Colors? If Printer Manages Colors is the proper approach, then is it recommended to convert the image file to a colour space encoded with a gamma of 2.2 (e.g. Adobe RGB or sRGB or Grey Gamma 2.2)?
Thanks.

Thanks for the follow up.
Barbara Brundage in the Photoshop Elements Forum will probably have the answer to your Photoshop Elements Epson scanner issue. Look into that Twain driver. She will give you good input on all this.
Also, see your other thread about Adobe telephone contact information. I have posted in that other thread also.

Printing a new format page in Matrix Printer with the SAPWIN Device Type...

Hi,
The requierements is to print Identification Material Labels with an Epson DFX-8500 printer. The label font is TIMES 34, therefore the Printer Device Type is SAPWIN. The real throuble is that label size (Format Page) doesn't exist.
I created a New Format Page but when a print the Materlal Label (SAPSCRIPT), the SPAD configuration isn't recognized. I need an Height of 432 PT (Like INCH6 because the paper is continuous form) isn't recognized.
Could somebody help me???

Hi all,
I solved myself... This is the way...
I have an Epson Matrix Printer (Epson DFX-8500)
In SAP, I created the Epson DFX-8500 Printer with the device type SAPWIN. This printer have some attributes in windows operational system (Windows XP). One of this attributes is the default paper size (Letter).
To change this, you have to do what the SAP Note 163136 (Creating new paper size for Windows NT-2000-XP-2003) says:
Solution
Note: This note is based on Note Q157172 from the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
You create a new paper size this way in Windows NT:
1. Choose 'Control Panel' and double-click 'Printer'.
2. Select 'Server Properties' in the 'File' menu.
3. Select the 'Create A New Form' check box on the 'Forms' tab page.
4. Enter the settings for the new paper size.
NOTE : If you set up your own customized paper size, the margins
cannot exceed the settings of the installed printer. The print area
must correspond to the margin settings of the printer driver used.
5. Save the paper size.
Proceed as follows to use the new paper size as the default format:
1. Select 'Printer' in the 'Control Panel'.
2. Click the right mouse button to select the required printer and select
'Document defaults'.
3. Select the new paper size in the 'Paper Size' selection box (on the
'Advanced' tab page).
4. Click OK.
5. Again with the right mouse button click the required printer and
select 'Attributes'.
6. Open the 'Device Settings' tab page and select the paper tray from
which you should print. Then select the new paper size.
NOTE: New paper sizes are stored on the computer on which they were
created. If you create a new paper size for a shared printer, you must
create the new paper size on the printer's print server.
NOTE : In Windows XP, there is an error in this procedure that can be
corrected with Note Q838298 from the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
I hope it helps you...

Printing with Epson 2200 and Lightroom v1.3.1

Ever since installing Leopard and Lightroom v1.3.1 in my PowerMac G5, my Epson 2200 printer produces prints with a very significant magenta cast. Does anyone know of this problem or, better yet, does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance.

I loaded file 11832 from epson us site. This driver v3.0aAs is for v10.4.4 - 10.4.x intel based macs. Even though it's not for leopard? I did this as nothing else work prior for LR. I also downloaded easyprint v3.1bA. I set it to managed by printer then hit print, at this point I set color sync on the pull down tab along with checking the rest of that printer menu such as paper type i.e. glossy profile and the mode to advanced print quality 1440 with the high speed box unchecked. The rendering intent is perceptual & print res at 360 dpi. The print output is at acceptable than most of what I had prior which was lack luster. I did base my start point for LR from the LR book by Scott Kelby. I think the output can be tweaked a bit which is my next endeavor. This did work so I hope that this help's.

Printing with Epson 2880 after Apple Software Update of Epson Drivers

I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed the loss of "Print Settings and Color Management" controls in the print dialogue when printing from Lightroom or Photoshop after the recent Driver Update (which appeared in Software Update.) Prior to the Update which I had been avoiding until it came down when I updated iTunes (again, Software Update) all print options were available with the Epson software. Oddly, if you elect allowing the printer to control the output the color and color settings are available but if you set the (Lightroom or Photoshop) dialogue to the paper profile then the color and color settings are grayed out. I talked at length with both Epson Tech support and went through the drill of removing and installing the printer and installing the newest drivers (from Epson) and nothing changed. I talked with Apple and again, nothing changed inspite of various adjustments. This is just a little disturbing since I do a considerable amount of photo printing.
Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.

I'm going to make an additional comment to my question and that is, strange as the behavior is, this may be a normal function with the update. Although during my roughly hour talk with Epson tech support, the rep was not aware and gave me reason to believe what was (not) happening in the software was in fact wrong. Clearly, the new print dialogue with it's grayed out settings is different from the previous print dialogue and print settings. If you now use a paper profile - regardless of manufacturer - the software assumes you are going to turn off color management - which is absolutely correct. Although I have not tried it, I am led to believe from some material I found deep in Epson's Support, the "color" area in the print dialogue no longer permits electing printing in "advanced" Black and White. More correctly, inorder not to have B&W grayed out you must be using glossy paper and the correct black ink cartridge is in the printer. This isn't a bad idea but sometimes I find the image is better with a Matte paper. Obviously you can, and I have, printed in B&W - you just have to be aware that within the Color settings of the print dialogue you no longer have the "option" to select B&W or advanced B&W. In some strange ways the new dialogue and settings areas of the Apple print menu for the Epson printers is simpler but it does come as a surprise when you first struggle with the changes.

Trouble printing with Epson 2880 and SL

Installed SL on my MBP but not my iMac yet as it is my main computer for printing with Aperture. I have been very happy with the 2880 and how well the prints match what I see on the screen (calibrated with i1d2). Well with SL I downloaded rosetta and the new 2880 drivers (as instructed by Epson), but whenever I choose a paper profile e.g., Premium Photo Glossy, the picture in Aperture Print Pane turns a purple hue. I, of course, have color management turned off in the Print Settings dialog. Anyone have any idea what is going on? As far as I can tell I'm not doing anything differently. More importantly, has anyone been able to get good photo printing with SL, Aperture and the new Epson drivers for the 2880 or similar Epson printer?
Thanks, Jim

That KB article just saved me from going back to 10.5. I was having the same purple problem with all Ilford and Hahnemuhle profiles.
That problem is now gone (by just disabling Black Point Compensation) but: when trying to print from Aperture (2.1.4) with my R2880, any paper I choose is apparently stuck at +roll paper+, giving a +wrong source+ error when it reaches the printer. I now have to hit preview, select the correct page setup and profile and print from there. So far this seems to work. But it's a pain and not what I want to be stuck doing for very long.
I had this problem before but only when printing to Manual-Roll. Now even Sheet Feeder options don't work. This would all be fixed if we only had a proper Page Setup option in Aperture as in every other OS X application...
At least that convoluted method gives me the right colors - which I was definitely not getting by going the system managed route.
Growing pains anyone?

Unable to print with Epson 3880 in LR3

I am no longer able to print with LR3 on my Epson 3880. I have printed lots of photos on it in the past and when I have tried to print on it in the last few weeks, I go through the normal process on my Mac Pro with Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and everything appears normal. LR3 processes the photos and the Epson Icon pops up on my task bar and it shows the job as having been completed - but nothing prints. The computer believes that it has successfully printed my photos.
I have tried deleting and adding the printer, but that has not helped. I have also tested my connection through the Epson Status Monitor. I can print a test page with that utility and check for the need to clean the print head. The computer appears to be able to talk to the printer, but it won't print photos.
One other thing that appears a little unusual is that I can select a specific colour profile to use for my specific photo paper, but I can no longer find the setting in the printer driver that states 'Turn Off Colour Management'.
I have checked the software update twice and I have the latest updates installed.
I am stuck and need to print some photos for family. Any suggestions are appreciated!
Don

That is a good tip Andrew. I believe that the driver was updated in the last couple of months and as I am not printing on a regular schedule, I didn't notice the problem. With the fresh install from the Epson site, everything looks the way it should.
I am going to follow your advice and not update via Software Update. I will install directly from Epson. This is the first time in three and a half years on the Mac that I have had an issue like this.
Thanks,
Don

Printing with EPSON - SRGB

I have been printing in PS for years and now I must admit after being away from it all for a while I am lost......
I started shooting portraits for head shots in SRGB because when they were RGB 1998 the folks who took them to other print shops for duplicates got bad results. At that time I learned that most commercial printers are SRGB shops and I needed to switch.
Now however when I recently shot in srgb and tried to print for myself, shooting a canon 7d in standard mode, srgb, I found a very lackluster color in my headshots....still pretty but not as rich as I expected.....kind of grey.....
Then of course I tried to print on my EPSON 3800 which has always printed dark...After finishing in LR I would always print out of PS, because there have always been a few final touches I want to make.....however, the prints that are pushed to what I would consider the max in LR
as far as brightness is concerned would always need an extra push almost into clipping in PS to get a good print.......
This week I added a Epson Artison 1430 as an extra printer for small work (My Grandchildren 3x5's) and as long as I let the printer manage colors it prints fine, otherwise a bit red....Arrrrggggg!
I really need some help getting things straight so I can get some consistency.....the reading I have always done says NEVER use printer management always use PS to manage colors, and yet I waste 2 prints for every one I get and loads of ink to get a finished product I like, and have for years, I guess I just got used to it.,....Maybe it's an epson plot to sell more ink....
So Color space confuses me, having to push a photo in levels too hot to get a good print frustrates me, and what I really want to do is go back to RGB......
Any suggestions........Use a DEll Ultra Sharp monitor....not calibrated.....

When you installed your Epson drivers they should have also installed the ICC profiles for that printer, in a bunch of different versions for Epson's own paper stock (glossy, photo, matte, etc.). Out of the box LR doesn't list them - in the Lightroom Print module, go down to Print Job, Color Management, and in the profile dropdown choose "Other..." - it'll open your ICC folder and let you activate the Epson-specific ones. Do not choose "managed by printer".
The profiles assume Epson ink and paper - there will be a difference with off-brand paper or off-brand ink. The only way to fix that is to invest in a print profiler unit and make your own ICC files. Paper choice makes more of a difference than people think, especially to dark tones.
The intent (perceptual vs relative) will have a subtle effect on images with vivid colors, but most people won't notice. Pick what you like the look of and stick with it.
Click "Printer..." and then "Properties..." to open the Epson driver panel - on the Advanced tab, choose Color management = ICM then tick "Off" - you don't want the printer making any color adjustments whatsoever, as that's what the ICC profile is doing. For reasons best known to Epson you can only get at this "Off" checkbox in ICM mode.
Printing with that setup will give accurate color rendering, but as elie-d says if your monitor isn't calibrated what you see on screen is likely to have a horrendous color cast, so you're comparing apples and oranges. Even with a calibrated display, you either have to work with your monitor brightness turned down as low as it'll go, or view the prints outside under full sun. Indoors, prints that look OK would have to be much lighter than a calibration would make them.

Designjet 130 printer with Epson paper?

Anyone tried printing with a Designjet 130 printer on Epson paper stock? The reason I ask is I'm considering replacing my Epson 4000 with a Designjet 130r and still have a lot of Epson paper stock on hand. I guess I'd be on my own as far as developing the ICC profiles for the various paper types. Money is tight and I hate to waste the paper, on the other hand I don't want to spend any more money on ink for the 4000, most of which ends up in the maintenance tank due to constant pen clogs and cleaning cycles.

This forum is focused on consumer level products. For the Designjet you may have better results posting in the HP Enterprise Designjet forum here.

Photoshop CS6 printing with Mac OS 10.10.2

I recently attempted to print a 13x19 photo on a Canon PIXMA 9500MarkII color printer using CS6. The printer driver continually reported an paper since error. Eventually, I gave up and tried to print the same photo with Apple's Preview application and it worked.
I contacted Canon support and they responded that the printing with Photoshop CS6 version 13.0.6 x64 is not compatible with OS 10.10.2.
Does anyone have a solution or know if Adobe will be updating CS6?

No.

Difficulty Printing Borderless Prints with Epson C84

When I had an iMac G3 with OS 9.2 and used the Epson menu for printing, I had no difficulty printing 4x6 inch borderless prints (since that is one of the options on the Epson Menu). But now that I am forced to use the OS 10 printing menu, even when I identify the printer as an Epson C84, crop the photos to fit a 4x6 page and show "0" margins on all sides when selecting 4x6 as paper size, using either iPhoto or Photoshop Elements 3.0, the prints come out with a small white border on all four sides. The Apple Menu with Epson as the chosen printer does not give me an option that says "4 x 6 borderless" when choosing the paper size. Is there something I need to set differently in order to get borderless prints?

Problem printing with Epson 3800 and Photoshop CS5

I came across a problem trying to print with my Epson 3800 in Photoshop CS5. I recently upgraded to Photoshop CS 5 (and Lightroom 3). I tried to print using my Epson 3800 with CS5 but could not adjust Print Settings, Color Mamagement, Paper Configuration, Expand Border because those options are unavailable and there is a line crossing through them. I get a message that says "The bundle 'Print Setting' could not be loaded because it does not contain a version for the current architecture". It then says to contact the creator listed here for the latest version: PrintSetting version 3.57, Copyright SEIKO EPSON CRP 2001-2006. I can print through Photoshop CS4 as usual, but CS5 is a problem. I haven't tried printing though Lightroom 3 yet, and have not typically used Lightroom to print, but I wonder if that will be a problem too?
Any help will be appreciated.

If you run CS5 or LR as a 32bit application you will have all these option available to you. You can then save these options as presets that can then be applied when you are running the applications in 64bit mode even if you can not access them individually.
Also you might want to check Epson's download site especially the European site to see if there are newer drivers or updates for your printer. The newest drivers for other printers like the 7600/9600 support application running in 64bit mode.

Printing with Epson & Canon printers

I’m new to a Mac having been a Windows PC user for years. I certainly like what I've seen so far. Reasonably competent with Photoshop CS3 and have loaded Mac version.
Main printer is Epson R2400 but also use Canon Pixma iP8500 and both worked fine with PC.
I had a number of files set up in a folder on my Windows PC which involve an image of 7.5" x 5.5" centred (on A4 canvas) and then framed by a thin 1px border of 10" x 8". These are for a particular task I perform and they need to be like that. Copied these on to Mac.
When I print out on A4 photo paper on either printer the whole image incl. the border shifts about 0.25" towards one end - i.e. in portrait mode it shifts up the page. Also, the long sides of the border don't appear, but the short sides do. I have reduced the size of the border slightly and all 4 sides then appear which indicates that the printers are not printing up to the edge of the paper which of course they are capable of doing. I sometimes need to print right up to the edges of paper.
Responses from suppliers as follows:
Apple helpline - they said contact to Canon and Epson who can send a download for Mac operation.
Spoke to Epson, they say maybe a download will work (they told me which one) but they say it's to do with the CS3 software. Download had no effect. Not spoken to Canon yet but suspect the same will happen.
Apple store - I go into local store for tuition and one of their people uses same gear as me and doesn't have this problem with it. Suggested uninstalling printers and reinstalling. Tried several times - no joy.
I'm going around in circles here. Solution maybe a blinding flash of the obvious - I hope so.
By the way, in the printer dialogue box that appears as part of the Photoshop printing process I have got "centred" checked.
I realise that Macs will have different screens to PCs but am I missing something here in the Mac print dialogue boxes? My first impression is that there are not as many options there as with PCs but I may be wrong.
Am I right in assuming that this problem is something to do with the way my Mac is working - especially as someone else in the Apple store says there's no problem with his printing on the Epson?
Help please!!
Bob

One simple thing to look for is that sometimes the printer drivers include a "borderless" paper size. Try looking at the paper size settings in the print dialog to see if you're printing on A4 regular, or A4 borderless. Also, I recall with one epson printer, I had to actually add the printer in again as another printer with its "borderless" driver. So if the paper settings don't help, try going into SystemPrefs>Printing&Fax, hitting the + sign to add a printer, find your printer, and see if there's another driver offered that's called something like "borderless".
This assumes of course that you've checked with epson and canon for the most up to date drivers. Check their sites for any updates.
