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.

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".

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...............

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.

Separator page prints out with wrong name when printing from Outlook 2010

Working with Windows 7 Enterprise, Outlook 2010. We've set up our desk printers to print a separator page with the user's name, as several people use the same printers in our building. Printing from IE, Word, etc. all work fine, and it'll print
out the correct username on the separator page.
When anyone attempts to print an Outlook email, it instead prints out my username. We've found that it doesn't happen if they click on the "quick print" button, but it happens every time if they do "file > Print" or Ctrl+P.

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you that separator page prints out with wrong name when printing from Outlook 2010, please follow these steps: -
To create a custom separator page file, use a text editor such as
Notepad. On the very first line, type one single character, and then press
Enter. The character on this line defines the character used as an escape character. For example, the following list assumes that this character is the at sign (@).
Enter the escape codes for the functions you want, and then save the file with an .sep extension in the Windows System32 subfolder.
In the Print Manager, select the printer that you want to use the separator page file with, and then click
Choose Properties on the Printer menu.
Click
Details, specify the name of the desired separator page file in the
Separator File box, and then click OK.
Note:
Put the custom separator page file in one of the following locations:
In the %Windir%System32 folder.
In a folder whose path contains a SepFiles folder. For example:
Drive:\Folder\SepFiles\Subfolder
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

New Display coming out with a higher contrast ratio & response time?

Is there a New 30" or better Display coming out with a higher contrast ratio & response time?
I'm very used to using crt monitors and the quality of the current 30inch is nice but blacks are not quite as black and colors are not as rich.
Apple seems to be right on with what they have. Just hoping for an update to their displays soon.
Thanks ahead for your reply.

Apple reseller in Sydney today said that new Apple HD displays are 6- 8 weeks away and that Apple is running down stocks of the existing displays.
No idea of the veracity of this claim, just what I was told.

Is Microsoft Office coming out with a newer version soon?

I couldn't find it anywhere online... I mean, the current version is 2004, so does anyone know if they are coming out with a new one anytime soon?
I just don't want to buy that version, and have the new one come out in a month.
Thanks!

If I hadn't gotten my copy of office:mac 'free' (if one excludes the premium one already pays for MacBooks) at the time of purchase from my Apple Store, I'd be running NeoOffice, too.
Might yet, as office:mac is feeling old and clunky and, as someone has already posted, the next version of Office isn't due out till late next year.

souvikfromKolkata,
you’ll know as soon as the rest of us do if Apple decide to produce a new non-Retina model. My guess would be that they won’t do so, but that’s only a guess.
With Internet, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint representing your main usage, either a MacBook Pro or a MacBook Air would be suitable for you.

Are they coming out with a new ipod touch?

they coming out with everything else new

We aren't Apple, just users of Apple's products, so we don't know.
But - probably not. Apple just released a 16-GB 5th gen model this summer.
Otherwise Apple would have revealed the new 6th gen in September/October this year.

Why are my photos printed after work in photoshop coming our with faded color?

I am on a Mac with Maverick, using Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5. I am doing a portrait of 24 people and need to combine several photos to get an appealing final product. I move my photos from Lightroom and in Photoshop using mask layers have been combining the pictures. When I transfer them out as a Jpeg, and send them to a commercial printer they come out with a faded color look. I am at my whits end trying to figure out what I am doing wrong. Does anyone know what the solution is to this frustrating problem?

So gator, I am using a calibrator on my monitor and both printers Costco and Mpixpro are giving me the same results. If I dont do more than two layers in my work, I get fantastic results that I am totally pleased with. It is only when I involve multiple pictures and multiple layers. Are you saying to be in ProPhotoRGB unitl I create it into a Jpeg and then change it to a sRBG, for export to the printer. Do my settings look correct to you in LR and PS? Because, the more I here from the Forum, the more I think it is a setting deaper than my knowlege goes. Help please! I am attaching an example of my finished product in LR and it looks the Same in Photoshop as you can see. So I am including a view in my LR of the screen shot, a view in PS w the layers after the layers have been flattened, then a shot of saving it (But I have been saving it in "standard" not "optimized as in this picture) but you notice it is saying it is saving it as a ProPhotoRGB, and the last shot is the screenshot of it as a Jpeg in PS. Also I am including Info shots on the screen of the PS file and the Jpeg in hopes someone will see my problem and know the solution. When I do info checks, they show sRBG about 80% and ProPhotoRBG about 20% even though I have used the same steps? I have tried to capture a bunch of my work in screen shots that you might see the issue. Thanks so much for your time and help!
