Prints have green/blu cast w CS5/LR3, Epson R2880, Coloreyes, eyeone display 2
Please help! After months of printing w great results using:
CS 5 (12.0.1) running in either 32 or 64 bit mode and/or LR 3 (3.2) and profiling my iMac Intel Core i7 running OS X 10.6.5 with ColorEyes Display Pro (1.52r032.2), and have the most recent drivers from Epson (8.27) I have suddenly started getting crap prints - they are flat and have a bluish/greenish cast when printing on Ilford or Hahnemuhl paper, using the correct ICC profiles selected in the print dialogue (I also soft-proof gamut and colors in PS before printing). Ink is not low, prints are not banding, B&W prints basically OK, and print diagnostic sheet is fine.
I have checked everywhere on the forums and have not found anyone experiencing similar problems. Can anyone help!!!?
You know.. I had a similar problem a few months ago. Same printer and calibration device. I just could not track it down the color shift problem. Not sure if this was what fixed it, but I uninstalled the Epson driver (current version) and downloaded again from Epson and reinstalled it. Same with the paper profiles. And I built a new monitor profile. ONE of those things (or something?) worked and all was back to normal.

Pro9000 Prints with Heavy Blue Cast
Hello all!
I have several Canon Pro9000 and Pro9000 Mark II printers. The Pro9000 Mark II printers are doing great. However, the Pro9000 printer is printing photos with a heavy blue cast to them. The blue is so heavy and so bad that any photo printed with it is destroyed.
I have tried printing both from Photoshop and from other programs, including straight from Window's photo viewer. When printing from Photoshop, I have tried both letting Photoshop manage colors and the printer manage colors. When Photoshop is managing colors, I've turn color management off for the printer (set it to None). I've made sure I have the proper paper selected, etc. It does not matter what I do, the Pro9000 still prints with a heavy blue cast.
I've tried switching from Auto to Manual in an attempt to reduce the blue. But even if I have the first slider (labeled Cyan) slid all the way to the red side and the third slider (labeled Yellow) slid all the way over to yellow, I am still getting a heavy blue, but now the images are too red and too yellow, etc.
What can I do to figure out what is going on with this printer? It used to print properly, so I am not sure what changed. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
PS - I am running Windows 8.1, 64-bit.
Solved!
Go to Solution.I don't have any 9500's. I have two Pro9000's and four Pro9000 Mark II's. The Mark II's all print fine from the same computer(s). Both of the Pro9000's (non-Mark II) are printing with the heavy blue tint.
The monitor being right should not be an issue here. After all, what I see is what I get with the Pro9000 Mark II's.
I've tried both letting Photoshop handle all the color profiling and letting the printer do it. I get the same blue tinting. Just FYI - I cannot always use Photoshop to print. I do event photos where I am using a Hot Folder for printing. In cases like this, Photoshop is not even running. That's when I need the printer to handle color profiling (the hot folder software I currently use has not control over this). Again, this works fine with the Pro9000 Mark II's.
I've played with numerous settings and nothing is removing the blue tinting. I thought it might be the print heads, but the check nozzle pattern looks like it is printing just fine. This is why I am confused. -
Why do my black and white prints have a colour cast?
I've been trying to print some old black and white photos that I've scanned into iPhoto. Last year this worked fine, but now all the prints have a pinkish-brown colour cast. As a check, I opened the same photos in Preview and printed from there and they all printed perfectly, so the problem is in iPhoto. I've been through all the colour-related options in the iPhoto print menu but to no avail - no setting makes any difference, not even ticking the greyscale printing option. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm using iPhoto 09.
A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

7520e: black and white prints have blue cast
Black & white prints have a blue tinge to them and are not true black and white.
Is there a good explanation of what all the various controls do, in the Print dialogue boxes?
Thanks.Hi @organgrinder,
Your print Dialog box sometimes varies depending on which program you are printing from, but, I found some potentially helpful information about advanced color management;
Using the default sRGB modeThe default sRGB color space is the most common setting for print jobs. As mentioned, most images are sRGB, and using sRGB delivers automatic high-quality color without user intervention. When sRGB is selected, the driver controls the color management. Color management should not be attempted with ICC profiles while the driver is set to sRGB mode. Doing so will usually result in lower color fidelity.
Using the AdobeRGB mode
The AdobeRGB Color Space mode is designed to provide compatibility with emerging camera functionality. This mode can be used for printing photos from digital cameras that support the Adobe RGB color space. For example, if a camera is set to Adobe RGB while capturing photos, those photos can be printed from any application by using this color space selection. For print jobs that involve significant editing or graphics composition in the Adobe RGB color space, ICC color management may give better results. Color management should not be attempted with ICC profiles while the driver is set to AdobeRGB mode. Doing so will usually result in lower color fidelity.
Using the ICM color management mode
ICM color management should be selected for the following reasons:Creating ICC profiles to manage printer color
When using an application such as Adobe Photoshop, which supports the selection and use of ICC profiles.
From the perspective of the printer driver, the ICM Color Management selection does one simple thing: it turns off printer color management. If this option is selected from an application that does not allow for the use of ICC profiles, or if no profile is selected for the printer, the resulting prints will be dark, vivid, unmatched printer colors. By disabling printer color management, the high-end user has complete, control over the color matching process via the application.

Color Distortion with Mac Lion, CS6, Epson R2880 printer
When I had Snow Leopard, CS4 and Epson R2280, I got prints that looked like what was on the monitor.
When I bought a new Mac which switched my operating system to Lion, and Adobe recommended I buy CS5 which I did. When I went to print, trying every setting imaginable, the color was too dark, distorted and lifeless. I called support on January 23, 2012 and they have not solved the problem YET.
I was very excited to try CS6. I selected use CS4 profiles.
I printed a PSD file using Printer controls setting, color matching, epson. The results are marginally better. The pictures do not come out as dark but yellows turn green and greens turn blue. Blues are sligtly darker and reds are off- mostly darker. I got the same results letting photoshop control the colors. This lack or responsiveness to changes in commands is the same thing I encountered with CS5. I also tried printing an unadjusted raw file and the color did not change.
I know how to use the Epson R2880 so I chose the correct media and ink.
When I print from Apples preview or iPhoto, the color is perfect.
Given that Epson is a high quality photoprinter, Adobe should make it their business to be sure their product works with Epson.I too have a MacBook with Lion and an Epson R2880..I'm in the process of evaluating CS6 on the
MAC platform after using PS and Premier Pro on Windows boxes since 1995; so far I'm
very impressed with how CS6 runs under LION given the somewhat strained
relationship between Apple & Adobe..but I digress..my first attempt at a print
with Luster produced very distorted imagery compared to that of my Thunderbolt
display (which I love BTW)..I recognize the distortion almost certainly
that caused by either 1)an improperly selected printer driver in the dialoges or
2)bad or clogged ink jets or 3)a printer driver not updated for my new hardware/software
combo..in this case LION with CS6 (beta s/w)...now in my case its not #2 as I just
printed the same tiff file with CS5 on my Windows machine perfectly; its also not #1 cause
I checked & rechecked the matte settings...I suspect #3 is the culprit..I'll do some
more troubleshooting with this and report back..
Oh, BTW, soft proofing on my MAC TB display revelaed not distortions so even
tho I have done no monitor calibrations on this display I have no reason to
suspect thatas the culprit.. -
Very slight blue cast on epson r1900 when match print color check box is checked
Ok, so this problem has been bugging me for some time now and I know other people have it too, because I can see it some of the screen shots.
I am running CS3 and and epson r1900. Using the latest drivers, and latest ICM epson paper profiles downloaded again just yesterday. So what happen is when I go to print a photo, whenever I check the match print color box, the proof instantly assume a very light blue cast which prints on the paper as well.
Let me tell you what I know it is not.
1. It is not double color management- ICM is disabled on the epson print manager side
2. It is not a badly calibrate monitor, My spyder 2 is working just fine.
I am wondering if its some type of gamut compression inherint the the ICC profile, but if that were the case, if I converted my photo into the icc's color space, it just take on the blue cast, but it does not it. The blue cast appears only after the match printer colors check box is checked. Even if I add additional whitespace to the picture, that what space, which when you think about it, should just be paper white, get printed again with the light blue cast. In checking and unchecking that above mentioned box, I can see that other features within the photo are being affected or shifted as well. If I use a different icc profile, say, the Kodak Professional Paper profile or a red river paper profile, there is no Blue Cast period when the box is check or unchecked, so it seems to be something related to epson profiles, and Photoshop.
I have removed the printer and reinstalled with all the latested drivers available at epson website, as well as removed all my old epson paper iCC profiles and reinstalled them from that latest available from epson as well.
I can see on some epson printing tutorials avaiable on the web, this blue cast in the screen shots. Like here- http://www.gballard.net/psd/printing_epson_photoshop_cs3.html
compare the the preview print area , the the white in the in input box for print size and you can see there is a cast.
So is this normal?
thanks
PatrickPatrick,
ICC profiles include white point information. When you check the match print color box, Photoshop trys to show a quick soft proof of your image there in the print dialog. The blue cast is Photoshop trying to simulate the white point in the profile - which happens to be the shade of the paper. Some papers have more of a pronounced blue or yellow shade, and this shows up in the soft proof.
In reality you will not see nearly the level of shift on a print as you do in the Photoshop print dialog. That soft proof is not really super accurate.
To summarize it is indeed the paper ICC profile that is causing the effect. Different profiles will all show slightly different variations in the white point under these circumstances.

I have justed upgraded CS2 to CS5. How do I set artboard crop or trim marks for printing?
I have justed upgraded CS2 to CS5. How do I set artboard crop or trim marks for printing? It was under the "OBJECTS" menu in CS2, but I can't find it in CS5.
it actually works the same way but better you don't see it that way but with perhaps more experience you might catch on and say "oh now I see that' all I have to do.
Multiple artboards, which you did not have in CS 2 , changes the equation.
When you open a new document you can set up a gangup in the new document dialog then say for a business card then do one business card in the first one.
Then copy the art and text of that first one and in one command paste that art in all of the artboards with one command, you can then make another artboard that encompasses all the artboards and you now have a gang up say six up you can now print all a once as a gang up or print a range of the artboards or specific artboards.
As a matter of fact now that you can paste on all artboards with one command AI CS 5 actually has a step and repeat feature that works verticaly and horizontally at the same time. And an improved version is easily had.
Also since you probably know how many you need of this first artboard then you can simply make one rectangle for for the first artboard and give it a crop area effect and when you do your copy include the rectangle and then paste on all artboards and there you are
look at the video, see how cool. less complicated not more complicated. And as other users explore this function I bet they come up with even better ideas.
http://mysite.verizon.net/wzphoto/Artboards.mov
I am going to make one adjustment here instead of doing a command c to copy the first artboard it would be better to do a command x to cut the first one since the command paste on all artboard does exactly that. So if you do a command c and a command option shift v then you have two rectangles and art and crop marks pasted on top of each other. Probably won't do any harm but might be confusing in the layers panel. -
I have CS5 which has stopped printing on my Epson R2880,
I have downloaded the drivers for the printer again but Epson say there is no problem with the printer as it prints ok from Microsoft and Apple products,
I reloaded CS5 from the original disc, still no joy so downloaded S5 again, after uninstalling,from the Adobe website.
There are now four updates which will not load, so I am now in the position of not being able to print but also not being able to open my NEF RAW files in Bridge or CS5
The error message I get from CS5 when trying to print is "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents.
I am using i Mac Mavericks version 10.9
I have tried to contact Adobe ny phone to talk about the problem but cannot find a telephone number
Any help would be appreciatedThis was partly helpful thank you, I have updated manually and all updates have gone in and I can now get my RAW files to open,
BUT
Despite removing printer , downloading drivers again and then resetting printers still CS5 does not give me the option to print, I also have an Epson SX 200 which does not appear as an optional printer when I give the print command,
I seem to be between a rock and a hard place here, Adobe seem to think it is an Epson fault and Epson say it is definitely Adobe fault,
I have over £1000 value of CS5 and an Epson R2880 printer and cannot get a print from it.
I am loathed to take up Adobe offer of paying for CS6 and Lightroom on a monthly basis then find I cannot print on that either,
Perhaps I will have to go back to Aperture, which I do not want to, I can print ok from that, which again points to an Adobe problem, -

You may need to register your camera with the the launch service database again, see this post by Alan Roseman: Re: Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
There is a "typo" in the command given in the link above, so read also the following posts on how to correctly enter the command and how the fix is supposed to work

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............... -
Regarding 30" ACD & dancing green/blue pixels with 10.5.3
Hi there people!
I'm really interested to find out if 10.5.3 has fixed the issues for those that had the dancing green/blue pixels problem as the display wakes from screen sleep state. As I am surprised nobody had posted any information regarding this from 10.5.3.
According to the huge log of fixes... something caught my eye but it was not detailed. So now that 10.5.3 final has been out for a few days, has it fixed yours... since this fix sounds like its related to the corruption. Hoping that it's related to the DVI noise/screen corruption as the pixels dance about the screen.

I had this problem with my G5 2.3 & 30" CD upon start up quite frequently.
After going back & forth to the Apple store all day switching out monitors (3 total), I tried something different.
I did an erase & install, & DID NOT install the 30" CD software, I also set the display up to where I turn it on & off separately.
I have had 0 pixel issues since.
I miss just being able to turn the power button on and being done with it, but this has gotten rid of the pixel issues.
I just kind of look @ it like when you turn on/off your home theater, you have your receiver button and your TV button, plus a Blu Ray / DVD player to turn on/off.
Also, my G5 has the 6600 video card, not the specified 6800GT. I spoke with a "Tier 2" Apple specialist & was told I would have "no problems", After 3 years, I have had none. (other than the infamous "dancing pixels")
Good luck. This solution worked for me. Pixel issues suck. -
Hi:
I just read a very long Forum post involving Chris Cox from July 2010 regarding the referenced issue; unfortunately the thread had left the problem unresolved in 2010. I have a Nikon D3 camera, Windows 7, CS5, and a Epson R3000 printer. Everything was working well together, then "snap", ALL photos have a magent cast. When Windows Photo Gallery or CS5/Bridge are first opened, the photos import with correct color balance immediately. Then, the screen "blips", and all photos have a magenta sunburn. If I plug a thumbdrive of the same photos (downloaded from Windows>Pictures) into a Mac with CS5 and an Epson 4880 printer, then everything works perfectly and no magenta in the work flow. This red cast in photos seems to have been a long standing issue for many people, I hope a resolution has been found by now for this frustrating problem. Thank you, Steve [email protected]its all photos now have a red cast
i dont think its a iphoto issue
