Printing to Fine Art "Museum Etching" Error

Having an issue with printing Fine Art "Museum Etching" paper on my Canon Pixma9000 printer. This wasn't an issue until switching to a Mac, using Adobe Illustrator CS4. I recently purchased Canon's Fine Art Museum Etching paper and when selecting that media type within Illustrator CS4, and printing, I get this error message.
"Error Number : 88 The media type and paper size are not set correctly. Cancel printing, correct the settings, and print again. If you selected Fine Art "Museum Etching" as the media type, you need to set the paper size appropriate to the art paper."
I have tried every different type of A3+ (13x19) paper sizes from the dropdown in the Illustrator CS4 print dialog panel, and get the same error every time. Any help in figuring out the cause would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Josh

I was under the impression that adobe color printing utility is a completely different application from PS. I am limited by the facilities ACPU provides. I cannot change the feed from the current "sheet feeder" to "manual rear feed." Fine art paper only works with the matte black ink which my printer is currently set to. I should point out that the greyed out issue does not happen in the PS print set-up. I should also mention that all other choices of media are available in ACPU. It is just the "fine art" section that is not, which does suggest it is something to do with the photo/matte black inks. However, as mentioned, my 3880 is set to matte black.
I think this is a bit of a curly one! I noticed that Epson were very quick to pass the problem on. I gather there is another way to print colour targets, used before the advent of ACPU. Image Science, the Australia Company doing my custom profiles will no doubt steer me in the right direction.

Print on Fine Art Paper using Epson 9900.

Printing. Sigh.
I can't get the "Fine Art" Epson papers "Hot Press" or "Cold Press" to show up in the printer dialog box. (I pay by the hour and the square foot to use the 9900 to print works for a show that opens in two weeks, so this is both pressing and costly.) I have tried everything I could think of (details below). As a work-around, I exported 16-bit TIFFs, opened them on another machine in PS-CS6, and printed them. The Epson Hot Press paper can be selected in the PS print dialog on that machine. The print looks excellent.
OS 10.8.5 on an Intel 2.7 GHz Core i7 MacBook Pro w. 16 GB RAM.
Aperture 3.4.5
(No beta-ware installed.)
PS-CC (14.1.2 x64) on this machine. (Do not have the version number of PS-CS6 that is installed on the other machine.)
My studio printer is an Epson 3880. On that printer, I have to select one of the print dialog "Paper Size" presets with "(Manual - Rear)" in the name in order for the full complement of Epson Fine Art papers to show in the "Printer Settings➞Basic➞Media Type➞Fine Art Paper" drop-down of the printer dialog box. (I am using "print dialog box" to refer to Aperture's print dialog, and "printer dialog box" to refore to the OS print dialog box that comes up after clicking "print" at the bottom right of Aperture's print dialog box.)
The 3880 does not accept roll paper. One of my reasons for using the 9900 is that it does accept roll paper. There are no "(Manual - Rear)" presets that I could find for the 9900.
Oddly, in PS-CC (this machine), I cannot specify "Hot Press" either. Only on the other machine (which is at the community arts center lab where I print) does "Hot Press" show in the fine art paper types. That machine does not have Aperture installed.
I have updated my 9900 driver, and downloaded the most recent ICC profiles for the paper. I installed the profiles in both the system library and my user library. I can select the profiles.
The current driver listed on Epson's site is 9.04. The version which shows in "System Prefs➞Print and Scan➞Epson Stylus Pro 9900➞Options and Supplies➞General➞Driver Version" is 8.64. I have re-downloaded and re-installed. Twice.
I have rebooted, hard and soft.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Just a hunch, Kirby. I looked at the Epson support page:
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&info Type=FAQ&oid=119098&prodoid=63079720&foid=125986&cat=53461&subcat=53466
and found in the FAQ:
Selected FAQ
Q:
Why are only matte media types displayed in the driver’s media list?
A:
When matte black ink is selected in the printer driver, only matte media types are displayed in the driver list. The complete media list appears only when the photo black ink is selected.
Do you have any possibility to select the ink in the driver - matte or not? And are you trying to print glossy?

PS cc doesn't show Fine art papers in the printer menu

Hi
I recently bought a new printer Epson Stylus Pro 3880 and I use it with PS cc. But in the printermenu I just can't choose Fine art papers - isn't highlighted.
All my programs and drivers are up to date!
Does anyone here have a solution to my problem?
Thanks,
Steen.

Hi Trevor,
I'll try. Thank you.
Steen.

I bet there is a leaflet in the box the print paper came in, that gives a list of profiles for various printers. Alternatively, go to the paper maker's website and look there.

Looking for detailed literature on Aperture3 color management for fine art printing

I am looking for a coherent , cohesive book or tutorial on Aperture 3 color management capability for fine art printing. Thanks.

Sad to report: does not exist, or if it does, is a closely held secret (by, imho, a coven of eyeless warlocks).
Color on OS X is likely -- just imho -- going to go through a transition which is not going to be helpful, in the short term, for Mac users for whom color is a vital part of their work. X-Rite has, afaict, cast their lot with Adobe. ICC profiling looks like a dead end at this point. Apple is either going to have to leap-frog the competition, or use their technology.
One of the best resources I know is North-Light Images. Up-to-date, Aperture-specific, authoritative information on printing is rarer than superb photography.

I previously used Indesign CS4. I now have recently purchased Indesign CC. I have a Mac Yosemite 10.10.3. When I print, I cannot select my paper stock, other than what is in the print dialogue box, i.e. art paper. In Indesign CS4, I could choose fine art

Selling fine art prints online - opinions welcome!

Hi everybody
I have been thinking a long time of starting selling fine art prints online through a dedicated website.
Of course I understand it's going to be a tough thing that will need a lot of work about SEO, web marketing and promoting.
I know most of the customers are from USA and from the other english language countries (AUS, CAN, UK, NZ, etc) but possibly, in a near future, countries like China, India and other emerging nations will also become good markets.
I would like to understand though what is the real "size" of this market; for this reason I'd like to hear experiences about this opportunity, especially from those of you who are already involved in such business, tried to go for it or just have heard about it.
Thanks everybody
Fabio

art is… everything
but there are categories too:
natural/artificial
black&white/color
good/bad : )
[of course, all subjective]

Icc profiles fine arts paper grayed out in Lion

Running Lion, In the print dialogue box, I can't access the icc profiles for Epson fine arts paper, even though I have the matte black cartridge installed. In the Media Type box, the Fine Arts selection includes all three fine arts papers for my Epson 2880 printer, but all three are grayed out. However, it works fine for matte papers. My icc profiles (including the three for Epson fine arts papers) are installed in ~/Library/Colorsync/Profiles, also in HD/Library/Colorsync/Profiles. Any suggestions?

Same problem with greyed out profiles for Fine Art Papers
The ICC Profiles for the Epson fine art papers that I downloaded from their site are coming up with errors in the ColorSync Profile First Aid. I redownloaded the profiles, but they’re still showing up as bad profiles and they can’t be fixed.
Sample error:
Header padding is not null.
Tag 'DEVD': Tag reserved field is not zero.
Tag 'DEVS': Tag reserved field is not zero.
The file is locked. Could not be fixed.
So what do I do now?

I need help identifying an old Macintosh game: it was a painting game where you rode a roller coaster to an art museum and you got to pick what kind of art work you were going to make. This was the early 90's and I've been trying to hunt it down

I need help identifying an old Macintosh game: it was a painting game where you rode a roller coaster to an art museum and you got to pick what kind of art work you were going to make. It was animated, 2D i believe. This was the early 90's and I've been trying to hunt it down. I think there was some kind of animal in it, a giraffe maybe?

Could you be thinking of Microsoft Home's "Fine Artist" for Macintosh, as shown in this Amazon.com listing? This program was bundled with the Performa series of Macs during the mid-90s.

Offset printing of watercolor art

I am a young designer with little experience in book publishing. Currently I am working on a catalog of an artist. It consists of oil paintings and water colors. But preparing the CMYK images for watercolors is a bit tricky for me. There are many watercolors with very subtle tints of color wash, and from my previous experience these light watercolors tend to lose their luminosity after printed. So, I wanted to get a little extra advice on how to prepare the best images for printing watercolors in book.
There are several different adjustment tools in Photoshop such as Brightness/Contrast, Levels, Curves, Exposure, and Vibrance etc. But I don’t know which one is more suitable to make the punch the colors a little more and add a little more contrast.
If you know any other links in this topic, I will be happy to read more.

I wonder if you've ever heard of hexogram printing? You will never be able to replicate a painter's palette using CMYK alone. Printing presses are limited to the amount of ink they can lay down, but I tend to think you are trying to match some pastel type variants in press. There are also certain types of paper you might consider. Paper that will absorb the ink and have some tooth to it. You do not mention how the images are captured. Are they digital pics or scans? I've read your post and I think you need to look beyond Photoshop, a little outside the box, if you will. There are specialty printers, book printers who specialize in archival type work and do a phenominal job reproducing fine art. Of course, there are tools in Photoshop that can enhance an image. You should get Dan Margulis' "Photoshop LAB Color" and "Professional Photoshop". Very, very good references to optimizing images and they have several different approaches to some common problems.

2008 R2 Printer Event ID 372 - Print Job Still Prints I Can't Stop These Errors From Occuring

I keep getting the following error 372 on one of my DC's that runs the network printers. As it says on the bottom of the error the page prints just fine but I can't get it to stop and I can't find a reason for this to happen. I have 5 identical

Hi,
Regarding the error you received, it can be caused by one of the following factors.
The printer is not reachable on the network
Windows cannot allocate sufficient memory
There was invalid or incomplete data received by the print spooler
A driver upgrade failed
There is a bad printer device driver
At this time, I suggest you could refer to the following article for troubleshooting.

Questions regarding proofing Epson Fine Art Papers in Photoshop CS5

Background. I have an Epson Pro Image printer—4900. I use Epson photo papers and usually print on glossy, luster and semigloss paper. Recently Epson sent me what they call a “Signature Worthy Sample Pack” of photos papers—specifically, Hot Press Bright, Hot Press Natural, Exhibition Fiber Paper, Cold Press Bright, Cold Press Natural, Velvet Fine Art and Ultra Premium Luster—my reward for spending lots of money on one of their printers.
My problem. I soft proof before I print. When I soft proofed using Epson’s profile for Hot Press Bright with Matte Black Ink, I chose Relative Colorimetric for Rendering Intent, checked Black Point Compensation, and checked Simulate Paper Color under my On-Screen display options. When I checked the last—Simulate Paper Color—a haze appeared over my image. If I unchecked Simulate Paper Color, the haze disappeared. I tried adjusting for the haze, but could not match my original and so got rid of the adjustments. I then printed my original using Epson's profile for Hot Press Bright Matte Black. It printed without the haze—beautiful print. Then, I tried the same with Velvet Fine Art. Soft proofing gave the same result—a haze when I selected Simulate Paper Color, no haze when unselected. I printed the original using Epson's profile for Velvet Fine Art, but this time, unlike printing with Hot Press Bright, the print had a hazy overtone.
Finally, my questions. Are there times when I should and should not check Simulate Paper Color? Is there something I might try to correct the haze in the Velvet Fine Art print? I have not yet tried the other papers.

You'll have to ask Epson about that.
Those settings are controlled by the driver.

Which program is best for fine art images?

I am a watercolor artist who captures and prints her own fine art images using Epson R2880 printer and Epson Fine Art Velvet paper. I have thus far only used Picasa... but am now ready to step it up to Adobe... I am on the trial membership for the Cloud.. but am overwhelmed by all the programs available, like Photoshop CC and Dreamweaver... I have no idea what the differences are and which one would be best for my needs... I am really only adjusting my images for white balance, color balance, contrast, hue and saturation etc... and need to be able to isolate certain sections of the image at times to do that... (which I can't with basic programs like Picasa). Please help!!!

My goodness! You have jumped straight in with a full Creative Cloud subscription? Way to go, as we say in this part of the world.
Ahhh... Just read your post again, and I see you are on the trial. The Photographer's bundle deal would have been ideal for you, with Photoshop and Lightroom for just $10 a month, but you have just missed that, unless you have previously owned and Adobe application. But Photoshop is the way to go if you only want the one application.
There some great learning aids on Adobe TV, or get a sunscription to Lynda.com for a few months.
Someone mentioned Illustrator for line art. After using Photoshop since it was first released fo the PC, I have recently started learning Illustrator, and I'm having one jaw dropping moment after another. I had no idea it could do so much. So that might be worth considering, but only in addition to Photoshop.

Fine Art paper selection greyed out.

I am using PS5 with a MAcBook Pro (OS_X 10.7.5) with an Epson 3880 printer. The paper selection menu greys out Fine Art papers. I need to use those papers. Don't know how to fix this. Need help.

The selection of media type is tied to the paper feed path...some media such as fine art watercolor needs to be maunally fed. Once you select a manual feed path you should be able to access the fine art paper selections.
