DARK PRINTS on Epson R2400

I know this has been discussed in other threads. What I did not find posted elsewhere was "the" solution to my problem of dark prints with Lightroom on an Intel Mac, that was provided by Epson Tech Support this morning. First, I've tried all the other suggestions including-
1. direct USB connection
2. Not color managed
3. calibrate monitor
4. update drivers
5. select correct ICC profile
etc., etc., etc!!!
What did it for me-
DUH!
Nozzle Check - to indicate that there was a problem, and
Head Cleaning - to correct the problem.
Now, printed photos look like previews on screen.
Hope this helps someone else.
Thank you Epson!
Dave

I have to chime in and say that:
1. I used to have the same problem with dark prints from LR to my Epson R1800.
2. I'm quite convinced that the problem is due to either a combination of the following, or just one of the following:
2.a. A "faulty" driver installation. Wrong driver ppc driver instead of macintel driver. Multiple drivers installed with different version numbers. It is possible to end up with two drivers for one epson printer. I know. I have.
2b. Not setting up LR AND the Mac OS print dialog options correctly when printing.
2c. Not installing the printer correctly in the System Preferences.
2d. An ink problem in the printer. Clogging etc.
Possible solutions:
Check in Computer:Library:Printers: to see if you have more than one driver installed.
Or just trash anything Epson in this folder and reinstall the driver. (Keep a backup if you don't know what you are doing, and don't blame me if you mess things up ;-) .
Make sure you install the correct driver, don't use the ppc-driver on an intel-mac.
When you add your printer in the system preferences make sure to click on the "More Printers" button and choose either Epson-USB or Epson-Firewire (Depends on how you connect it obviously). DON'T install it in the first dialog window that appears after you click the +button in the Printers and Fax window in system preferences.
In LR you have to set up correctly with the correct icc-profile for your paper.
In LR press Page Setup and choose the correct printer and paper format in that os dialog.
In LR press the Printer Settings button and in that os dialog window you have to choose no color management - as stated many times before :-)
And of course you have to select the correct paper here as well and other settings like "best photo" and so on.
Make sure you have Standard selected as the Preset in the Print Settings dialog and then Option-click on the Save button to save your settings.
Now you can make a template in LR with your settings.
You shall always use Standard as the preset even when you make a new print template in LR with different settings. Somehow they stick when you use Standard, but they don't stick if you choose a different name for the preset in the os print settings dialog.
I hope you can understand all of the above let me know if not and I will try to explain.

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?

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

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.
Mac OS X (10.4.8) Powermac G5

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.

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 ... ?

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

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

Dark Prints from Epson R1900 w/ Colormunki

I use the Epson R1900 and Colormunki and still get dark prints. Here is my setup.
GEForce 8600 GT video card
Sceptre DCLCD20 monitor
Epson Stylus R1900 printer
In the calibration process, I have to turn my monitor Brightness control all the way to 0 to get to come close to what Colormunki wants.
I have to turn off the Enbale DDC Calibration function in the preferences or Colormunki sets my monitor so dark, I can barely see it.
I've tried printing in both Lightroom 2.4 and PS CS4 using the Colormunki generated profile and both prints come out dark - the same but dark
In LR, my color management settings are Profile: Epson ... (my profile) and Rendering intent: perceptual.
In PS CS4, my Color Handling settings are Photoshop Manages Color; Printer Prilfe is my colormunki generated profile, Rendering intent is perceptual.
Both print previews look fine.
Both prints come out dark
Any suggestions would be appreciated?

I don't use a Colormunki..but what you say here

sounds very strange. Usually when profiling a monitor and setting the luminance value (which is either called the brightness or backlight) control, you start from the brightest point the monitor will go to and then the device measures this and sets a recommended luminance value measured in cm2 (that is candles to the square meter) and you reset your monitor brightness until it matches the required value. Are you reading the instructions carefully as what you say here just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Setting the monitor to 0 (o what?) and saying the calibration device sets your monitor brightness (this will be done on the monitor controls not by a calibration device)
If you are also using the colomunki to make printer profiles I have heard of several serious problems with the device regarding this. I understand it makes icc v4 profiles and your printer drivers may use icc v 2...this will cause difficulties. You will usually be better using the canned profiles supplied by any paper manufacturer than attempting to make your own profiles with these cheaper end of the market devices in my experience.

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.

Dark prints with Epson R1800

Having upgraded to Snow Leopard, when I print to my Epson R1800 from Lightroom or Photoshop, the prints are extremely dark, and a bit oversaturated. I am printing by choosing a paper profile, and turning off color management in the driver. This worked perfectly before Snow Leopard. If I tell Lightroom to let the printer manage color, then use Epson Vivid with Gamma 1.8, the print is reasonably good. But if I can not choose a profile, I will be limited to only Epson papers.
The latest Apple update for Epson print drivers only contains the Gutenprint driver for the R1800, so I downloaded the latest Snow Leopard drivers directly from Epson. I believe I thoroughly removed the existing drivers before installing.
I am seeing some discussion about this here and other places online, but no solutions that work so far.

Wait a second, I just realized something very important. If you go to the Epson Drivers page for the R1800...
http://tinyurl.com/2gp4g9
The first link there is a Drivers and Utilities Combo Package for MacOS 10.6 (i.e. Snow Leopard). But the driver that this combo package actually contains is version 6.12, which as listed further down the page, is from 12/18/2007.
So in other words, there really is no Snow Leopard support for the R1800.
Also, the R1800 is not in the product list on the Epson Snow Leopard page...

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.

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...

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.

Leopard + Aperture 2 + Epson R1800 == very dark prints

Hi,
Before I upgraded to Leopard, I was able to get very nice prints from Aperture on my Epson R1800 printer.
After I upgraded to Leopard, the prints end up very dark. A bit of additional info follows.
My monitor is correctly calibrated.
I installed new drivers from Epson's website (v6.12), and I verified I'm using those, and not Apple's Gutenprint drivers.
In the print settings I turn color management off, and than select correct ICC profile in the Aperture that matches paper and quality settings. For example, for printing on Epson Premium Glossy paper with PhotoRPM settings, I select "SPR1800 PrmGlsy PhotoRPM.icc" profile. Hit print, and after a bit of time the print comes out of the printer very dark. This sounds like ICC profile got dropped someplace along the way (in Aperture? in driver?).
If I go the other route, and let driver/printer manage color by selecting either normal or vivid options in print settings, and than use "system managed" setting in Aperture, the prints come out bright (maybe even a bit too bright). However, in this case the colors are off. Very off. Skin tones are especially bad with strong yellowish cast (people on the prints look if they were seriously sick).
Has anybody managed to get usable prints from Aperture 2 + Leopard combo on Epson R1800? Or any other comparable Epson printer (R800, R2400, new R1900)?
Searching forums, I found a lot of articles discussing Leopard and Epson printers problems for Adobe products (CS2/CS3/LightRoom), but not much for Aperture 2.
Unrelated question... I attempted to ask this in Aperture forum, but there was no post link. Do I need something special to be able to ask questions there?

Well, believe it or not, with the help of Epson support on the phone, I've figured this out. First of all, there is definitely a problem with Aperture's color management. What used to work (setting a color profile in the Aperture print dialog, and selecting "no color management" in the printer dialog) definitely does not work at this point.
If you want color management, what you have to do is select "System Managed" in the Aperture print dialog, and select "Color Controls - Epson Standard" in the Epson dialog. What this does is select the standard Epson profile for the paper you have selected. For example, if you've chosen Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper, the printer driver will use the "SPR1800 Premium Glossy" profile (Epson's standard profile for that paper, assuming you've downloaded it). Of course, that gives you Epson's version of what you want to print. If you have created your own profiles, using a spectrophotometer for example, you need to get the printer driver to apply YOUR profile instead of Epson's.
Here's how to apply your profile: Open Colorsync (in the Utilities folder), and select "Printers" in the Devices menu. Under the printer model, Stylus Photo R1800, for my case, select the profile for the paper you're interested in, say "SPR1800 Premium Glossy", and look on the right side of the window at "Current Profile:". Click the down arrow, and select "Other". Navigate to the profile you've created, and click "Open". This will set the profile you've created as what the printer driver will use when it thinks it's applying the SPR1800 Premium Glossy profile. Set other paper profiles (e.g., "SPR1800 Enhanced Matte") to whatever profile you've created for those papers.
Now, when you select "System Managed" in the Aperture dialog, and "Color Controls - Epson Standard" in the Epson dialog, it will apply your own profile.
Hopefully, Apple will fix the problem with color management, and we'll be able to go back to color management as it was before. In the meantime, this is the only work-around I've found.

Accurate color print workflow IDCS6 to Epson R2400 w/X-Rite Custom Profiles - Mac OS X 10.8.1?

Hello Folks,
I am trying to get accurate color out of InDesign CS6 on an Epson R2400 using custom created profiles with X-Rite i1 Profiler in Mac OS X 10.8.1. on Epson Papers. Has anyone had luck with this workflow? I am also looking for the same with the Epson R3000.
I have been scouring the web for more than a week for updated info and some insight but have been having a hard time finding solid step by step settings I can follow and get accurate output. I end up with either too light/washed out prints or too dark and saturated prints. I've already blown a complete set of inks and tons of paper and time toiling with this one.
I'm looking first for how to verify that Colorsync settings are accurate for my needs, updated color settings in InDesign CS 6 and Epson printer driver settings with Epson inks, Epson papers and their downloadable profiles at least. If I can get that to be semi close I can then attempt to use recently created custom profiles for individual papers to really nail my output.
I have used the most recent X-Rite i1 Profiler (1.3.1)/Gretag MacBeth i1 Proof UV-Cut spectrophotometer with new and older iMacs, Mac Pros with Cinema displays, the new Retina Macbook Pro's and CS6, 10.8.1, Xerox 7760 and Xerox 8570 and have accurate color. I have calibrated the monitors/screens, the Xerox printers with different papers and no problems with output.
For some reason the Epson workflow is being a complete tool. I have completely removed the Epson printer folder etc. as per Epson's uninstall information and downloaded and reinstalled to to present. Any help would be extremely appreciated. My wallet and sanity thank you!
