Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with re

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with reddish cast and loss of detail
System: Windows 7
Adobe CS5
Printer: Epson Stylus Photo 1400
Paper: Inkjet matte presentation paper with slight luster
Installed latest patch for Adobe CS5
Epson driver up to date
After reading solutions online and trying them for my settings for 2 days I am still unable to print what I am seeing on my screen in Adobe CS5. I calibrated my monitor, but am not sure once calibration is saved if I somehow use this setting in Photoshop’s color management.
The files I am printing are photographs of dogs with lots of detail I digitally painted with my Wacom tablet in Photoshop CS5 and then printed with Epson Stylus 1400 on inkjet paper 20lb with slight luster.
My Printed images lose a lot of the detail & come out way to dark with a reddish cast and loss of detail when I used these settings in the printing window:
Color Handling: Photoshop manages color, Color management -ICM, OFF no color adjustment.
When I change to these settings in printer window: Color Handling: Printer manages color. Color management- Color Controls, 1.8 Gamma and choose Epson Standard it prints lighter, but with reddish cast and very little detail and this is the best setting I have used so far.
Based on what I have read on line, I think the issue is mainly to do with what controls are set in the Photoshop Color Settings window and the Epson Printer preferences. I have screen images attached of these windows and would appreciate knowing what you recommend I enter for each choice.
Also I am confused as to what ICM color management system to use with this printer and CS5:
What is the best ICM to use with PS CS5 & the Epson 1400 printer? Should I use the same ICM for both?
Do I embed the ICM I choose into the new files I create?
Do I view all files in the CS5 workspace in this default ICM?
Do I set my monitor setting to the same ICM?
If new file opens in CS5 workspace and it has a different embedded profile than my workspace, do I convert it?
Do I set my printer, Monitor and PS CS5 color settings to the same ICM?
Is using the same ICM for all devices what is called a consistent workflow?
I appreciate any and all advice that can be sent my way on this complicated issue. Thank you in advance for your time and kind help.

It may be possible to figure out by watching a Dr.Brown video on the subject of color printing. Adobe tv
I hope this may help...............

Preview Printing Negative Images - White text and lines on black background

Desperate for help here. After upgrading to Tiger, I have more instances when Preview displays a PDF correctly but prints certain pages with images, such as graphs and technical figures, as negatives, that is, white text and line art on a black background. Is there any way I can fix this? Any advice would be most appreciated.

I was trying to scan from a Lexmark X5250 into Preview so that I could fax a signed document to a company.
When I chose "To be faxed", with Preview TIFF program under 10.4.6 (combo) (PPC), the document appeares in Preview as a white-on-black (negative) in Preview's open window.
A work-around seems to be that one selects "To be printed", then prints from Preview, then selects (in the lower-left corner drop-down-menu) "Fax PDF". (Unfortunately, the modem still won't hang-up properly -- is this because of my ADSL filter on the fax phone-line? ).

Why are my prints coming out blurry

i am trying to make 8x10 prints of my edited work and they are coming out pixelated...what is this image size feature? do i need to adjust the numbers to get a better quality print?

Is your monitor calibrated and profiled with a hardware device? If not, all bets are off - it's always going to be a bit hit and miss as to how prints look compared to any particular program. However, if you're not using colour management (with printer profiles) then here's one thing that may make Lightroom print more like Epson software. When you print in LR, in the "Print Job" settings (bottom right of print module), try setting (in Color Management) the profile to sRGB (probably sRGB IEC61966-2.1). First time, you'll probably have to choose "Other..." and find sRGB from a long list.
By default, LR sends images to the printer in ProPhoto colour space, and non-managed printer driver software often won't cope (resulting in dark desaturated prints). Force LR to send the image in sRGB and it's more likely to be about right.

Prints coming out wrong color.

I keep trying to print a gray print and it keeps coming out with heavy red tones. I cleaned the print heads and even changed some out.
Not sure what to do, but at this rate im wasting lots of material.
Any help, would be great.

This is not a calibration issue. I work on an Eizo Monitor and calibrate it regularly. I actually printed the image thru a different computer and it printed fine. So not sure why one G5 Mac would not print it well but the other did. But so far problem solved for imediate future.

Switch out white for black

Hi, I'm 14 years old and about a month ago I purchased a white iPad 2 and i find the white bezel somewhat annoying and i would like to switch out for a black one. Can I come in the store and switch it out for no or little cost? Or am I just out of luck?

You can't exchange it because you don't like the color, if it was within 14 days you could have returned it and bought a different one but you said you have had it for a month.
2 choices, sell it and buy a new one or learn to love white (the new black )

Fax printing negative image (White on Black)

Any ideas??

Prints coming out with wrong colors

I am currently running win 7 64 with lightroom 4.3and an Epson Stylus Pro 3880 networked. I also have a HP 2610 as local. When printing to the Epson I get print with a lot of red to the point it looks pink or purple. This is with the color management driver set to custom and color management turned off or vice versa with color controlled by printer. If I print to the HP colors look great. I really need help with this problem. I have tried different paper outputs with no luck. I also have the same problem in CS5. So I would think its something I am missing.
Ron

It seems that is a problem that a few people had with the Epson 3880.
Red or magenta prints indicate double color management, i.e. in Lr and in the printer driver.
Check your settings carefully. If you let the printer manage colors you have to select "Managed by Printer" in Lr/ Print Module / Print Job / Color Management / Profile.
If I recall correctly one poster found that an old print preset that was created for a different printer was creating the problem.
There are lots of threads on this forum regarding problems with the Epson 3880. Do a search by entering "Epson 3880" in the search field where it says "Ask a question".

Prints coming out too dark: need calibration workflow?

Hello!
Yes, my monitor is an LCD and it is bright. It is not a proofing monitor. It was calibrated. I've been printing B&W from LR on an Epson printer (r1900 & r2400). I know proper color management. Turn off Epson Color Management, let LR manage color with the correct icc profile
Obviously I can do trial and error, brightening the photo until it looks correct.
My thought is, is there a way I could print on one page Thumbnails or like in the film days strips with different "exposures." Then with one print I could pick how much of an adjustment is needed?
Any thoughts how this can be accomplished?
Any plug-ins?
Thanks
Max

It was automated. So I don't know what tweaks it did. My colors are accurate.
It's been awhile. You run the software and it generates the icc profile. I see it load on each start-up. It was the version before Color Monkey. I don't have a highend monitor.
Just checked: X-rite Dtp94 Monaco Optix Xr Monitor Display Calibration

Problems printing to Samsung M3870FW from MacBook Pro: Why is it coming out faded?

My MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8) is connected wirelessly to a Samsung Multifunction ProXpress M3870FW. It is a black-and-white laser printer, and when it prints, the document comes out faded grey and slightly pixelated instead of coming out sharp and black. I thought there was something wrong with the printer, but when Samsung laptops print to it, it comes out just fine. The same thing happens to me when I am connected via USB.
I thought it might be that my computer was set to some kind of "Toner-Saver" or "Fast Draft" setting, but it actually only has a "Standard" setting. There is no "Fast Draft" setting.
What is going on here?

When you contacted Samsung, what did they have to say?

Video frames to layers coming out blank on cs3 extended

This has only just recently started happening as it was working fine earlier, but now when I try to open an Avi. file into video layers the frames are just coming out white. Anything I can do to fix this?

Convert the file in ffmpeg/ MPEGStreamclip or another tool or export it from Quicktime Pro using anotehr CoDec. PS just sucks at dealing with these compressed files and using such an old version doesn't help with contemporary digital video from a camera...

I'm trying to make a poster and invert part of it but the black is coming out as a beige colour instead of white.

I can't figure out why this is happening - I've remade this document from scratch twice and each time it did this. I made a new adjustment layer with an invert mask on it, and instead of the black coming out as white, it came out as this beige colour. I tried to fix it myself, but was unable - I adjusted the colour profile, changed the colour, as well as fooled around in the menus trying to figure it out. I've inserted a screenshott of my workspace, as it was when the problem happened. Any help would be appreciated!

Preview printing to Black and White?

for some dumb reason (either me or the UI....) i can't figure out how to set up a preset for a single page in black and white out of preview.
can anyone help?

With the Preview print dialog set to Show Details, you should be able to select the vendor menu where the B&W / Grayscale setting is located. Or if you are using Apple's AirPrint driver, then the B&W setting is present in the print dialog as shown below.
