Dark Epson prints. Yes I know it has been asked before!

Having invested in Lightroom 2 (and now 3) and Photoshop CS5 I am starting to get to grips with them.
However I cannot get them to print correctly with my admittedly ancient Epson R300.
For color management:
I have tried managed by printer and various settings of color management within Epson (color controls and photo enhance)
I have tried Epson profiles in Lightroom or Photoshop and colour management switched off in Epson (ICM and no color management)
None work fully satisfactorily; mainly they are too dark and none are close to the screen image and the real image in terms of colour.  I take photos in Raw format and have even tried saving photo in jpg format through lightroom and then opening jpg and printing the jpg but still not good.
However if I open jpg in my old freebie Photoshop Album Starter edition 3.2 and print hey presto a reasonable print!
Why can my super sophisticated Adobe products not print pictures correctly that my free Adobe product can?
Any suggestions grateful recieved

thanks for reply
whilst display is not calibrated the picture on screen is a fair representation in terms of colour and i can print that "fair representation" via photoshop albulm or, in fact, through online commercial digital serivces like photobox or even windows photo viewer.  It is just a problem with lightroom or photshop cs5

  • So, I know this has been asked before. But, has anyone heard from Apple?

    So, I know this has been asked before, but I'm just looking to see if anyone had heard from Apple on this at all. The minimum volume on my iPod Classic 160gb is too high, and I can't lower it. (AKA when I kill the volume, I can still hear music).
    I called them today, but the rep was pretty useless. He even dropped the "well, just press pause" line on me. Took him a while to understand that when I'm in bed or studying, etc. the minimum volume is too loud, and I wanted to be able to set it lower.
    The best workaround I've found so far is to buy headphones with their own volume control, but I just can't help but feel that someone shouldn't have to by additonal gear after buying this thing on account of such a basic feature exclusion.
    Anyways, thanks for any help !

    Wow, easy there company boy!
    I've heard all of what you spit up before.  And for your point of "Well, in several cases, people have complained (here in these discussion pages), that they expect the volume to be zero when turned to minimum position" that kind of ties in to why Apple should fix this.
    And yeah....it's pretty much a given that "you and I have different interpretations of what constitues too loud" This is where the option to adjust the minimum volume comes in to play.  (I relly feel bad for you. Honestly. Having to live everyday of your life this way must be just brutal)
    The wording would be pretty simple too. " Be aware there are many instances of the minimum volume being too loud, so think twice before dropping a few hundred bucks on this"
    And, you're right. It is horrible to 'whine' about being ripped off and asking if there is a possible fix for the issue. I really do apologize for that. I should just suck it up and not voice my opinion that this is not fair to consumers, and Apple shouldn't fix a known issue with a product.
    I did reset & restore, I figured that was pretty much implied since I said I spoke to Support.
    And I am not at all surprised that you would say "I - for one - am not surprised that Apple might say, "simply hit the pause button"."  Again, I don't want it on muteReading your post made my eye twitch at least three times.
    This is exactly the reason I was resitant to post on a forum. But, I got a good laugh anyways. Thanks guy!

  • I know this has been asked before But I Deleted 6 mths worth of Bookmark folders, Cant use Undo,

    I know this has been asked before But I Deleted 10 mths worth of Bookmark folders, Cant use Undo & havent backed up (live & learn) Someone posted do a restore from "Import & Backup" My listing in Restore is only 2010-6-29 back to 2010-6-22. Is this the way to go to retrieve as much as possible or is there another solution?

    Those dates are when a backup was automatically made by Firefox, not dates when you saved specific bookmarks. Try restoring the backup from the day before you deleted all those bookmarks. It will restore the entire backup file - not just what you deleted, you will lose any bookmarks that you saved after the date of the file you restore.

  • "no un-bridged adapter" - and yes, I know this has been asked many times before :)

    OK, so I installed vmware workstation 10 on windows 8.1 update. I got the above error. "No problem" I thought, and followed the community and googled advice, I:
    1) uninstalled vmware
    2) disabled my antivirus (Kaspersky)
    3) ran the installer "As administrator" (I'm a member of the local administrators group, so hopefully anything else that doesn't require elevated permissions would be OK)
    Result: Virtual Network Editor does not show VMnet0, but I see it in C:\ProgramData\VMware\netmap.conf
    #This file is automatically generated.
    # Hand-editing this file is not recommended.
    network0.name = "HostOnly"
    network0.device = "vmnet1"
    network1.name = "NAT"
    network1.device = "vmnet8"
    network2.name = "VMNet0"
    network2.device = "vmnet0"
    Looking at the properties of my network adapter (Intel(R) Ethernet Connection I217-LM) I see the vmware bridge protocol and the vmnetbridge service is running.
    So next I try the "restore defaults" in the network editor - no change. I try removing the protocol from the adapter and I get error 0x80070005 but if i click OK and go back into the properties, it's gone. I can't add it back, because I'm told it's marked for deletion. So I reboot, try to add it, and I get access denied, but again if I close the dialog, and go back, the service is now there.
    I'm just in a workgroup and i have not applied any Group Policies...
    Happy to try any suggestions...

    Uninstalling AntiVirus and or EndPoint Security software has been discussed a considerable number of times and has been discussed for many years and uninstalling any given AntiVirus and or EndPoint Security software is SOP when dealing with some issues with VMware Type 2 Hypervisors, especially when there are Network related issues.  At times both Avast and Kaspersky as well as others have been mention in these forums and at times in the product release notes too.

  • I know this has been asked before...

    After about nine months, my Northbridge chipset fan has gone from simply noisy to an irritating vibration.  I know that the Zalman Fanmate 2 will slow it down to 5000 rpm, but it sounds like the fan is on its way out.  I'm reluctant to spray it with WD 40 because I don't want to remove the fan unless I'm going to replace it.  I did e-mail tech support at MSI and they probably will send me a new fan.  What are some other good aftermarket options?  I appreciate any advice that people can offer.  BTW, other than the fan, I've had no problems with the board, which is about as good as you can get without going to SLI. 

    Will it fit on the Neo-4 Platinum?  It seems to me that I have a few options here:
    (1)  Buy a Zalman Fanmate 2 and turn down the fan.  It used to run regularly at 7,670 RPM, but lately, it's running at 8,000 RPM+ and is rattling things.  Yet, Speedfan says the temp of the Northbridge is 17 or 18C, so it's not overheating.
    (2)  Buy a general four channel fan controller.  I like the Zalman that fits in the 3.5 bay, but my case has a plastic door that closes, so I may need one with just push buttons.  Any advice on that is appreciated.  The problem with that idea is that the back fan is a 120mm Antec Smartcool and the front is the Antec 120mm that came with the case set on medium.
    (3)  Buy a Vantec Iceberg copper heatsink and fan, some Arctic Silver 5 and the Arctic Silver clean kit, pull the motherboard out (next time I get the case with a removable motherboard tray) and install it.
    (4)  Buy this(http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=872908&CatId=99) or (http://www.quietpcusa.com/acb/showdetl.cfm?&DID=8&User_ID=760103&st=7443&st2=-49144413&st3=35057438&Product_ID=91&CATID=5), cut some pins off with my Dremel Moto-Tool and install.
    (5)  Buy this (http://www.quietpcusa.com/acb/showdetl.cfm?&DID=8&User_ID=760103&st=7443&st2=-49144413&st3=35057438&Product_ID=359&CATID=5), cut some pins off--probably still won't fit though--and install.
    My video card just clears the Northbridge but probably can be worked around.  Next to it I put an Antec blue LED cyclone blower to help keep the card, and the system, cool.  On high, it's still not that loud.  Even with two 120mm Antec fans, the system still hits 41C during gaming.  Thanks for the advice so far guys.

  • I know this has been asked before, but...

    I'm having trouble converting a mono audio track to a stereo one. I know you're supposed to extract the audio and open it in QT and export it in stereo, but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm selecting "Export: Sound to AIFF" and "Use: 44.1kHz Stereo." I know I've successfully done this before, but I can't seem to do it this time. Any help? Thanks.

    Jeff,
    Is the problem that you only have sound coming out of one speaker? If so, you've already got stereo. It's just that your audio is only on one of the two tracks in your stereo pair.
    So what you really need to do is export to mono.

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

  • I'm burning dvd's that won't play on a regular dvd player.  What am I doing wrong?  Are there some simple things to check to figure this out?  (Sorry, I know this has been asked many times)

    I'm burning dvd's that won't play on a regular dvd player.  What am I doing wrong?  They play fine on computers but not on dvd players.  Are there some simple things to check to figure this out?  (Sorry, I know this has been asked many times).  Created in DVD studio pro.

    Hi
    Just my thoughts to add to the excellent answers above.
    • BRAND of DVD used - Matters when doing Video-DVDs
    Memorex, NoName etc cheap brands usually do NOT work
    I only Use Verbatim (more organic dye in these)
    • Type of DVD - matters
    - DVD+/RW - usually results in problems
    - DL-DVDs are more problematic than SL-DVDs
    - DVD+R are a more modern sort - BUT PLAYS BADLY or not at all on older DVD-players
    I only use DVD-R
    • BURN SPEED - matters
    - Best in iDVD app - IS NOT BEST at all but results in lot's of Burn Errors = Doesn't play well or at all
    I set this down to x2 or x4 max.
    Yours Bengt W

  • Communication Error - Yes I know this has been made.

    As stated previously, I know these have been made before, by a lot of people. I have yet to find an answer that works. I have tried setting up new locations like the youtube video. I have tried to open said ports, and I have tried turning on UpNP and all of the other tricks. I still cannot get video chat to work. I will do my best to provide all info that I can to get this to work.
    Obviously, this is the dreaded Communication Error, "You did not recieve a response from [name here]"
    Current Specs:
    Model Name: MacBook
    Model Identifier: MacBook4,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz

    Router is a D-Link DI-624M.
    This is all updated with firmware and is current (v2.5). Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Routers
    The table below lists common household routers qualified for use with iChat AV. No additional configuration or port forwarding is required. There are two assumptions for using one of the listed routers:
    1. There is only one router between your computer and your Internet service provider. If you are on a complex network, ask your network administrator about any routing issues.
    2. That a firewall has not been enabled on the sending or receiving end of the iChat AV conference. Optional firewall features on routers may block ports, as may firewall software used on computers. See technical document 93208, "iChat AV: Ports That Need to Be Open Behind Firewalls".
    Of course Port Forwarding says this
    http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Dlink/DI-624/iChat.htm
    For Pics where the firewall access is
    http://portforward.com/english/routers/portforwarding/Dlink/DI-624/AIMTalk.htm
    It will be worth checking if Ports need to be open to be allowed though the firewall.
