Epson Stylus Pro 4000 and SL

Is anyone successfully printing with an SP 4000 and the 10.5 driver in Snow Leopard? I can work with either Photoshop CS4 or Lightroom 2. Epson suggests using Rosetta as a work around. Does that work with CS4?
Thanks,
Peter

I am able to print with ICC profiles properly colour calibrated on my Epson 4000 providing I follow a very specific sequence.
My system is 10.6.1 SL, Lightroom 2.5 (starting in 32 bit mode), Epson driver 3.09, USB connected printer
I must do the following in this sequence (if I do not the prints are way too dark)
1. Use lightroom as normal, press print or print one with profile settings as normal
2. In the print driver dialogue go to "Color Management" and choose "OFF"
3. in the print driver dialogue go to "Print Settings" and choose Mode "Automatic"
4. In the print driver dialogue press "Print"
If I do step 3 then 2, then prints are way too dark, it appears to only work in this way for me.
I am very pleased with SL, the performance improvement is impressive.
I have resolved the issue with my Epson and it is not a big brick but it is clunky to print this way and took a lot of trial and error and paper/ink to figure out something that works for me.
Now, if only I could get my eye-1 software to recognise the monitor profile is installed already and I don't need to reprofile every time I start up, I'd be a very happy man.

Epson stylus pro 4000 & Mac OSX & Photoshop CS6

Has anyone been able to produce acceptable prints using an Epson Stylus Pro 4000 on a MAC with OSX version 10.8.2 and Photoshop CS6? I have recently converted from Windows to MAC and made the jump from CS3 to CS6, so I have many moving parts. I have Colormunki and have calibrated the monitor and created a printer profile for my paper. My basic question is -- Am I missing certain settings or steps to correctly color manage and produce good prints, or do I need to buy a newer Epson printer because it is just not compatible with the MAC and latest photoshop?

Thanks Charles and Sir-Leto. I'm not using Colormunki. But I have been printing using Photoshop and choosing "Photoshop handles Colors" for many, many years with terrific results. As soon as I updated to OS 10.8, the colors were immediately off. The only way I have found to get the colors to print close to normal is to choose "printer handles colors" and print using "adobe RGB" under the color options. This option is not ideal, but its getting me a lot closer to my normal output. And other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Epson Stylus Pro 4000 - Printing issues

I am having trouble printing from Photoshop to my Epson stylus pro 4000. Specifically, I am not able to access choices other than plain paper, tracing paper and line paper for printing my images. The following are some screen shots of what I see. Does anyone out there know why this is happening and if there is some setting/compatibility issue. I would really appreciate any insights and tips for a solution. I noticed the problem when I started using CS5. I have also downloaded the most updated driver for the Epson and that didn't seem to do anything. Thanks!

I asume that you have updated the Epson printer driver via the Apple Updater? I had the same problem with my R1900. I suggest that you look at G Ballard's website. You will need to remove the Epson folder from your Library/Printer folder and from Print/Fax in System Preferences and re-install using the driver from the Epson Support webpage.

Having followed the above: my system is now working as it should.

I just bought an Epson Stylus Pro 3880 and the printed images look yellow. I calibrate my MacBook Pro monitor with a ColorMunki Display. I want to make sure my Lightroom print settings are correct.

This what I have been trying...... Maybe my eyes are screwed up or don't understand the process....
What I have been trying to do is squint and make the apple disappear by moving the sliders around in each step. Is that correct?

Epson Stylus Pro 4000 Color problems

I could get a print out of the printer using the old Epson driver for OS 10.5 (3.09), Rosetta and Lightroom 2.4 but it seems to ignore the ICC settings in Lightroom. The print looks just awfull. Does anybody has the same problem or even a solution? Thanks!

I found one solution: print from Photoshop CS3 using Rosetta. Photoshop CS4 under Rosetta might work too, but I can't test it today.
Do a Get Info on the application in the Photoshop CS3 folder and check the box saying "Open using Rosetta".
The correct color managed workflow now works again, at the cost of some application speed.

Epson Stylus Pro 5000 & Leopard

Can I print directly from my MacPro 3GHz to my network printer Epson Stylus Pro 5000 and get top quality results. I used to have it setup using my old PowerBook G4 Ti laptop running OS9 and Stylus RIP Software.... but I purchased a new MBP with Leopard on it so I gave my PowerBook Ti to my father with Tiger running on it. I see in the support notes that Leopard comes with Gimp drivers for the Stylus Pro 5000, but when I add the printer and GIMP drivers to my print network the quality of the printouts is by no way near what it was when running the Stylus RIP software on my old OS9 laptop... does anyone have a similar problem? I was going to just go away and buy another more up to date printer e.g. the Epson R2400, but the 9 ink cartridges at 13ml each sounds very uneconomical to run... and besides... there's nothing at all wrong with my Epson Stylus Pro 5000 with 110ml cartridges... I just need to get it to work using Leopard on my MacPro 3GHz.
Any comments / ideas most welcome...
Yours sincerely,
Irish MacUser & MacAddict

Hi there Kappy and thank you for your excellent suggestion... on arriving at the website I could see it held the perfect solution, but I could not see my printer listed on the supported printers list... so I have emailed them to see if it may be a pending supported printer.... but thanks again for your excellent suggestion... I have it working direct now without a RIP using the Gimp driver... but it's painstakingly slow and the colour matching isn't as good as it was using the proper Epson Pro 5000 Driver with the Epson Stylus RIP software...
Always something in the bloody business...lol..lol
Thanks again...

When printing to the dye sublimation epson stylus pro 7700 using adobe illustrator it is required that I mirror the image. When mirroring the image the print colors are muted. Not mirrored and the print colors are perfect. Any suggestions?

Epson Stylus Pro and system resources. PowerMac G4 and iMac iSight

Originally in Mac Pro discussions
Hi Ned,
If I may, I would like to extend the discussion regarding Macs and large format printers.
At work we have a Stylus Pro 9000. On a G4 Power Mac 533Mhz/Panther/640MB RAM, the processing of jobs takes a very long time. On the iMac (G5 iSight/20"/stock 512MB RAM), it is about a third of the time in processing jobs.
Now I don't use this printer, but others are pulling their hair out to get jobs beyond the processing in the print queue. The jobs tend to cease. I have run some test jobs myself without any problems. The only difference I can see is that they are using custom sizes in the page setup where I have used set sizes i.e. A0. The other factor is that I think they have been trying very high quality output in terms of the settings they are using. (I'll add that my test runs are done when they are not in at work and vice-versa. This is a studio for artists/printmakers). I note that activity shows very little free RAM during the processing of jobs, more so on the iMac. I am wondering would adding an extra 512MB RAM improve the processing times. I am not sure if it will solve the not actually printing situation though?

I'll add that the Epson Stylus Pro printer is connected by Ethernet

Printing to my Epson Stylus Pro 3800 (Grr...)

Hi All,
I'm a fairly recent convert from Windows and I LOVE my Mac for everything EXCEPT printing to my 3800.
I have always had a problem with my Epson Stylus Pro 3800 printer on my Mac. The two just don't seem to get along. I've wasted countless pages of expensive paper and what seems like gallons of ink trying to resolve this issue, but I'm getting nowhere. I've ruled out physical problems with the printer - it works flawlessly on the three PC's I've connected to it (via usb).
Until this evening I was using the Epson drivers for this printer. They were flakey at best. I would get random 'communication errors' that could happen at any time during a print - start, end, somewhere in between or, if I was lucky, not at all. Having had enough I went looking for a solution (again) online tonight and stumbled across Gutenprint 5.2.6.
I've been able to install the drivers successfully by following the documentation but I can't get the printer to print via USB or IPP. Using usb, I get a message in the print queue 'backend USB Failed' and the printer goes into a Paused state. Using IPP the print job apprers to spool and queue reads 'Connecting to printer... ' for a while then returns with 'Unable to connect to printer; will retry in 30 seconds..'.
I believe the IPP is failing because the print queue options in the Gutenprint setup. The install says to leave Queue blank for the default queue. I tried that - it didn't print.
I browsed to the embedded 'EpsonNet Config' page in the printer and named what they call 'printer name' as printer. I presume that's the queue that the gutenprint driver wants, but I still get the same result.
When I look at EpsonNet Config, the IPP URL is http://192.168.9.166:631/printer.
When I look at the Printer Setup on the Mac, I see
Queue Name: 192_168_0166
Driver Version: 5.2.6
URL: ipp://192.168.0.166/printer
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm frustrated beyond belief with this problem and really could use some help using either the Epson drivers or Gutenprint drivers - I just want some consistent output.
Thanks in advance for any clues you may be able to offer.

I have been using an Epson 3800 with my I Mac for four years and up untill I upgraded to OSX Lion the only problem I had was colour issues associated with some ICC profiles. After upgrading to Lion and downloading the latest OSX update (10th May) I could not print.
One of the problms was that the print settings continuously defaulted to:
Page Setup: Sheet Feeder
Media Type: Ultra Premium Photo Paper Luster
I would change the settings to what I wanted, I saved them selected Print. My printer promptly started changing from Matte ink (what I had set my print setting s for) to Photo Black.
After trying all i could to correct this. I finally gave up and rang the Epson Helpline. After 3 telephone calls over a day and a half during which I was talked through the procedure you described, the problems were still not resolved.
My contact on the Epson Helpline then tried to simulate the problem on his MAC. He discovered that he had the same problem the print settings would not save, albeit on a Epson 3880 driver. He then advised me that the problem was not with thw Epson Drivers it was a MAC/Apple problem.
I then rang the Apple Helpline (at £1.35 a minute) described the problem and was eventually put through to a supervisor. Who asked me to send her a set of screen shots describing the problem, This I have done, I have received an acknowledgement of receipt and have been advised that I should get a response within two working days.
I am waiting hopefully.
I have tried to print both via CS5 and Aperture the problem is the same in both instances.

Epson Stylus Pro 9800 errors on 32-bit Windows 7 with Adobe CS4

Epson Stylus Pro 9800 errors on 32-bit Windows 7 with Adobe CS4
Question: We are experiencing some major errors with printing to our Epson Stylus 9800 Pro. Some of our large files are spooling about 16K, then crashing Photoshop. Sometimes we are getting partial prints (the left most 3-4 inches of print, or the file starting to print about 1/2 way into the file itself), sometimes it just spools for a few minutes, then stops, with nothing coming from the printer at all.
At Epson's request, we have tried the following:
reinstalling Windows 7 print driver
Reinstalling Adobe CS 4
Installed NEW NIC in printer
Installed new network line to printer
Installed new main board on printer
Printed from a PC directly connected to printer via USB and crossover cable
This issue is very bizarre in that it is random and sporatic. Same file will cause one of the above errors, then, another attempt to print same file will be successful. We have several Windows 7 machines that get the issue, while several Windows XP machines are fine. Epson instructed us to install the newest (win7) driver on the XP machines, issue then affects XP machines. Uninstalling new driver and re-installing old driver on XP machines resolves issue on XP machines.
Is this an issue with the Epson driver? CS4 on Windows 7? Or some other malady?

Photoshop CS6 on a Mac using an Epson Stylus PRO 3800 printer.

Installed Photoshop CS6 on a Mac Version 10.9.4. Installed an Epson Stylus PRO 3800 printer. When I try to print through Photoshop the dialogue box won't give the option to color manage. I followed the link suggested in the print dialogue box but that was for CS5 and said it will only work with TIFF files. I work with .psd files. I downloaded it but my Mac will not let me open it. Any help would be most appreciated. Mary Ellen

From Chris Cox: If you choose "Photoshop manages color", then Photoshop is managing the color and the printer driver is supposed to disable it's color controls (and let Photoshop manage the color).
If Photoshop is managing the color, then there is nothing else for the printer driver to do - so it grays out it's own color controls because they don't apply while Photoshop is managing the color.

Problem printing from cs6 photoshop to epson stylus pro 4800 printer

Has anyone had trouble printing from cs6 on a mac running lion to a epson stylus pro 4800 printer? I keep getting an error message saying "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."" The computer sees the printer just fine and has the latest driver installed. I have removed it and reinstalled it many times . I need help with this.

Yes, the menu items are not unavailable. We were already aware of the "Reveal Arrow" issue under OSX v10.5.3. The most important print menu items such as "Print Settings" and "Color Management" are simply not present. As previously stated we've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the latest (v3.66) "Universal" print driver on both hosts and all of our client Macs. A resolution to this problem is very urgent as our semester begins this week and currently students can not print their next week assignments.

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!
