Margin issues with Epson R2400

I user LR 3 on a Mac, and print on an Epson R2400.
My problem is that my print outs are off-centered, even though everything is all right on the screen (and the margins I define on LR are even).
This probably has something to do with Epson's driver (v 6.57), but I do not know what to do.
Thanks for your help.

You need the 6.5dAs drivers from http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?oid=54861&infoType=Downloads
The copies issue is a known problem. Sorry about that. But the other problems are not things we saw when testing with those drivers.

    CS5 will not print multiple copies. Can change it in printer settings, makes no difference.
    CS5 will not allow me to change orientation to landscape. Have to go to printer settings. Will not stick. have to change it everytime I want to print the same file.
    CS5 will lose the printer. Have to change the printer then change it back. "because the printer does not exist" is the error message. (Not even a complete sentence!)
    Printer profile will not stick.
    These issues did not occur with CS4.

  • Problems with Epson R2400 printer and Mac

    I'm a photographer and I switched to an imac a while ago. When I tried out my Epson R2400 printer, it worked really awful, comparing to when I used it with PC. I still haven't managed to fix these prolems. The printer menu is diminished (less options, many inaccessible in grey), there are problems with print density, with color adjustment, what I see on my screen is not what I get on my print (a black and white photo in grayscale mode can appear almost light blue when printed), there are even alignment problems (centred photos appear closer to the left edge of the paper). And I don't have a clue why all this is happening. The printer driver I installed is apparently the latest one. So I don't know where to go from here. I have installed and I use the profiles of the specific papers I'm using, but the results are NASTY. Please help.

    By the way, I have read the links under "More like this", but those threads don't seem to clarify my question. Originally I had installed my Epson driver from the original (old) Epson CD. When that didn't work I uninstalled and installed the newer Epson driver from the Epson's site. Doesn't work and the problems I'm having are the ones I mentioned above. 

  • Epson Perfection 2400 Scanner issue with Epson Print Driver 2.4.1 Update

    After the Epson Print Driver 2.4.1 update, my scanner quit working with Image
    Capture, which hangs during the overview scan. The scanner makes a pass over
    the document, but Image Capture just sits for a while saying "Overview Scan..."
    and then fails with a generic error message.
    I tried the suggestion in [11993273|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11993273&#11993273 ], but that did not work for me.
    Any other ideas?

    Thank's for the suggestion, but no help.
    It is not straight-forward to uninstall the driver because Apple installer
    does not offer an uninstall option. I resorted to
    sudo find /Library -iname "epson" -print -exec mv {} ~/Desktop/epson \;
    in the terminal. Reboot. Ran EPSONPrinterDrivers.pkg. Ran Disk Utility's
    Repair Permissions. Reboot. Added scanner back in the System Preferences.
    Opened Image Capture, the overview scan started and a few minutes later
    *Scanner reported and error*
    An error occured during scanning.

  • Printer issue with epson WF 2540

    All of a sudden, I'm unable to see print when printing an Adobe PDF or a TextEdit file. I AM able to print from a screen grab.
    Yosemite 10.10.3
    Apple says it's because Epson has not upgraded a driver for Yosemite. Epson says it's Apple's fault. Or mine since the screen grab software does print. One PDF just printed lines and volumes, no data.
    Thanks

    Having the same problem with my Epson WF2540.  I reset the printer and now it is unable to find it.  Says device is not connected.  The wifi is working on it but for some reason it can not seem to add the printer.
    Really hoping there is a fix for this soon!

  • Need help with Photoshop CS5.5 Printing issues with Epson R2880

    Hi,
    I'm experiencing problems printing on photoshop, I already selected center image but the epson printer always print to the upper left hand corner of
    the page. And the image is always cropped in a weird way, so eveytime I print the image is not a whole. I made sure I selected the right paper size too.
    It used to print okay, this happened a while ago but I don't know how it got fixed evetually, I think was after a complete restore of my OS.
    I am sure its nothing to do with the Epson driver, becuas after I export the file from photoshop to PDF it prints fine with either preview or adove acrobat.
    Has anyone else experienced such problem?
    Thank you!
    Shao

    Nope, not using the presets, i still cant figure out why it suddenly cant print right!
    btw, thnks for the link, its very useful!!

  • Issues with epson 2880

    Hi everyone -
    I'm using Photoshop Elements on a mac and I'm having trouble printing to my Epson 2880. It's forcing me to print from the back-end feeder, which may be correct for Enhanced Matte Paper. But in doing so the alignment of the page is off (less space on one side than the other) and the image does not begin to print on the page for a good two inches, pushing the rest of the image off the bottom of the page. I think this might all be fixed if I could figure out how to change the page setup in printer settings from "roll paper". It does not give me the opportunity to do this. Any ideas???
    Thanks,
    Amy

    you do have the option under page setup where you can set your margins accordingly.

  • Communication Error with Epson R2400

    I have an Intel Mac running Leopard and Photoshop CS3 and despite the latest driver from Epson my printer will start to print a photo and then stop due to a communication error. I checked the cables, tried printing different photos. Sometimes it will stop near the beginning of a print, sometimes halfway through, sometimes near the end. My printer worked fine with my 4 year old laptop running Tiger and stopped a half hour later with my new machine. Anybody else have this and perhaps an answer?

    Just finished a 30 minute tech support call with an upper division rep at Epson, we seem to have fixed the problem, I was very skeptical, but so far all is well. This is exactly what we did:
    Go to you user account and navigate to:
    Library->Preferences. Select everything that starts with "com.apple.print" (I had nine files) Copy these files to a safe place, they contain customization to you r print settings such as paper handling and quality settings.
    Now delete the ones from the Library->Preferences folder.
    Go to your main hard drive, not your user account, and select "Library->Printers"
    Delete "Epson"
    Empty Trash
    Reboot
    Install the latest driver from Epson for your printer.
    Open the "Print & Fax" System Preference
    While holding down the "control" key, click in the area where the printers are listed (left side bar). You will be presented with a pop-up menu that says: "rest printing system". Select it and your existing printers will disappear.
    Add your printer back to the "Printers" list.
    Close the "Print & Fax" window
    Add your saved "com.apple.print" files back to the User->Library->Preferences folder
    Cross your fingers.
    James at Epson asked that I not use this number, which I posted earlier for future requests.

  • After iMac upgrade to  Snow Leopard print quality with Epson R2400 is very bad.   Anyone have a workaround?

    Recently attended excellent workshop about the Fine Art of Printing with R Mac Holbert and John Paul Caponigro.  They indicated printing using iMac computers was difficult.  I upgraded to Snow Leopard and now print output quality is so poor that the results are totally usable. 
    A call to Epson support on December 9th was of no help.
    Is there a workaround for this problem?  Thanks so much.

    Re
    yes i use and install many new imac , your problem of "colorimetrie" could generaly sovled by
    calibrate your screen and use icc profile from printer / scanner manufacturer
    mac os software tool to do tha is locate into , app folder -> utility folder -> Colorsync utility
    look for it
    exemple :
    and from system preferences -> monitor -> color , calibrate button

  • Issue with Epson RX500 - scanning

    So I tried scanning some stuff today using image capture on and it worked great the first two times. After that it would scan but then not show anything in image capture and the program would freeze up. It wouldn't lock the program but you couldn't scan anything or do anything in image capture till you restarted the computer.
    I got the latest Epson scan utility from Epson's site like they suggest but it wouldn't open. closes automatically after I try to open it. In the console I get this message: 11/24/07 10:33:27 AM [0x0-0x26026].com.epson.scan.standalone[285] dyld: shared cached file is corrupt: /var/db/dyld/dyldshared_cacheppc
    Deleted file and tried again but nothing. Any ideas? It sometimes works if I reboot then get one scan and reboot again other times it doesn't work, although the scanner goes it doesn't pass the data to the screen it seems like.

    Well I got it working only if I scan to tiff. I can't scan directly to pdf. Not sure why but at least I can get a tiff then convert it.

  • 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!

  • Reg: Continuous Printing issue in EPSON LQ-300+II

    Dear All,
    I'm facing a continuous cheque printing issue with EPSON printer (LQ-300+II).
    We've created a new page format for state bank of Mysore cheque (Dimension 231mm width X 92.5mm Height) and assigned that in our sapscript for printing. The cheque is printed using transactoin F-58.
    In windows server properties (print setting), our system admin has created a form with above dimension.
    My problem, first & second cheques are printed correctly & identically, but from third cheque the amount is printed slowly starting to print up by 0.5mm. After few cheques it is completing coming out of the box and printing few cms up.
    We've tried implementing every possible solutions given in the forum and ended in vain.
    1) inserted coding in printer initialization.
    2) tried to create similiar page format in windows.
    Please sugget a way to get out of this continuous printing issue.
    Thanks,
    Rajan U

    The stated length of the form / paper is in error...  that's why the output is "moving" up the page... sound like it should have been 93.0 mm height.  I would guess that if you carefully measured the placement on check 1 and 2, you would see precisely how much too short the height is....

  • Epson R2400 Possible incorrect default profile causing issues reported

    I'm based in the UK and I'm currently testing the 6.12 driver with my 2400 on Leopard. Tests have been done on clean installs of LR1.3.1 and CS3 on 10.4.10, 10.5 and 10.5.1 on both a Intel and G5-based Macs.
    The main issue that I have spotted, and believe to be the cause of many of the issues reported so far is as follows. If you check, via the Colorsync utility, the default assigned profile for the R2400 after installing the driver onto a clean 10.5 or 10.5.1 system you'll find that it is set to "SPR2400 Premium Glossy" rather than "SPR2400 Epson Standard".
    I have always known the Epson drivers for many Epson printers to use the "Epson Standard" profile as default and therefore believe that the wrong default profile is set by the installer and this in turn creates a kind of double-profiling effect when an application tries to manage the colour rather than the driver.
    This particular issue only causes problems when printing via Lightroom, that is to say that I can print from Photoshop 10.0.1(CS3) using the correct custom profile and managing the colour through Photoshop along with turning off colour management in the Epson driver just as we always have in prior versions.
    This default profile can not, to my knowledge, be changed by the user. Please note that I'm also using custom profiles created in-house which requires us to use the application-managed print route rather than the driver-managed route.
    I'm actually in the middle of discussing this issue with both Adobe (via techsupport email) and Epson UK (by phone but not getting much success) as I have had no success with the new driver and Lightroom but also intermittently with InDesign and Photoshop (both CS3 versions with latest updates. For the time being I'm back on 10.4.10 with LR1.3.1 and CS3 with no problems.
    I'm hoping that Jeff Schewe, Ian Lyons or someone with the right contacts can raise this issue further with Adobe and Epson and get them to resolve this issue. I have read both Ian and Jeff's posts and would like to thank them (and others) for their help in explaining some of the reasons for the issues but along the same path they really are the people we look to for answers at times like these. Hope this may provide some help to solve at least some of the issues we're seeing.

    You're describing pretty much what I'm seeing here with the UK version in the UK so it looks like I was right about the default profile being set differently from previous drivers.
    Could you describe step-by-step how you setup Lightroom and the driver settings used when you get good prints using your profiles? I'm interested for comparison with my own workflow.
    If I understand correctly from past information and experience the Standard profile if used when the colour management is turned off in the driver and acts a kind of null transform so therefore any other choice of profile as default would appear to suggest that we are asking Lightroom to colour manage the image using the profile we select in the application but then the driver is using a second profile (Premium Glossy) when colour management is turned off in the driver where previously it would be using the Standard profile which does not affect the data passed from the application.
    It's still weird to me that I can get good prints from Photoshop using the driver and profiles under Leopard but, from what I've read by Jeff Schewe, this could be down to the new print pipeline being used by Lightroom. Not pointing the finger anywhere but just making an observation.
    John
    With all due respect you solution of using the standard Epson profile and papers doesn't work for those of us who need to use custom profiles for third party papers, even before the third party inks are introduced into the equation. For example when printing on Ilford papers I would still need to specify Ilford's profile for the R2400 even when I'm using Epsons inks and this would still give problems.
    Also we've been using the third-party (Lyson PhotoChrome) inks with a range of printers including the R2400 and 7600 for well over 5 years and had no issues before when using Lightroom or Photoshop (or any other application for that matter), the problems only arise when using 10.5.
    I'm not sure were the suggestion to delete "both sets of drivers" from leading as I've not got two drivers, that is to say that each install has been done on a clean OS before testing. I actually have an external drive with four partitions for each type of Mac (G5 or Intel). Each drive has a clean install of 10.4.8, 10.4.10, 10.5 and 10.5.1 so that we can "roll back" our internal drive any any point in the testing by simply cloning the OS we need on to the internal drive and then start again, installing just the drivers and apps we want to test.
    Hope we can find some more information out from Epson as to the actual reason for the different defaults even if this just clears any confusion about what it is actually doing during different workflows. I'll keep the forum informed with anything I find out but would still like Ian to post the settings from that the people that he knows are getting good results.
    Cheers for now
    Jason

  • Epson r2400 printing margins

    I am trying to print cards on Strathmore paper with an Epson r2400. The size is 6 7/8" x 10". I keep getting a big left and top margin.
    BTW: Aperture insists in cropping that the geometry is 6.9 x 10, and insists in the print dialog that it is 7x10 ".
    I have tried printing the calibration page, but it prints with a 1/8" margin on the left and top, making the numbers useless. I have tried to guess at what the calibration (using 40 for right and 24 for bottom) but nothing seems to work.
    Can anyone explain to me what calibration is supposed to do, since it doesn't seem to have any effect. And just what do those calibration numbers mean, anyway?
    Until I figure it out, it's back to Photoshop for printing....
    mahalo,
    paul

    Paul,
    Did you actually get the Epson r2400 to print on 7x10 stock? I have scored 7x10 stock, for folded 5x7 cards (Moab Entrada; really nice paper!). I had no problem working with this paper & printer combination (actually, my printer is the Epson R1800) in PC land, but when I define a 7x10 custom paper size on my new Mac, it doesn't seem to stick. Mac lets me define it, but when I send the print job to the printer, it bombs and I get a message that media is loaded incorrectly. This has happened from Aperture, and from Print Explosion.
    Any clues?

  • Photoshop to Epson Printer Margin Issue

    I have a small print shop and have had an issue with the new Photoshop CC not printing images with correct margins on and Epson 9890 and 11880. If I set the image to center on an 8x10 sheet (or any other size). The image comes out skewed to the upper left. between .125 and .25 inches to the left and to the top. I never had this issue with other versions of Photoshop.

    Thanks for your reply. I understand that the print driver sets the margins. This has always been the case. However, if I print from a different version of photoshop on the same computer with the same printer, I do not see this problem.
    It is as though Photoshop is centering between the right margin edge and the left paper edge, leading the print to be off center. If it simply centered between the margin edges (as it always did in the past) there would be no problem.
