Trying to printA3+ paper in epson 2880,

hi guys
i have created a image in CS3 photoshop and sent it to my new 2880, and i am getting a info panel
" the paper source selected in the printer driver does not match the paper loaded in the printer.
Before printing on a CD/DVD or thick paper, make sure that all paper is removed and that the front paper feed guide is open.
Set the CD/DVD tray or thick paper correctly and then resume printing."
so how does it know i have the wrong paper?
and how can i get it to print my A3+ doc?
i have the paper loaded in the top paper feed point, and have tried it with either the flap thing open at the front or closed. i have also tried to put the paper in the front of this drop down flap but i no understand and nor does the printer!
thanks for any help and i hope you are less confussed then i.

No Matte paper option in paper settings Epson 2880

I have an Epson 2880. running with Lightroom 2.4 on a mac with OSX 10.5.7
However when I try to select the Epson Matte paper option in print settings> paper settings , it's not there.
I have loaded the latest Epson drivers and have got Premium Luster surface added but no Matte heavyweight. I can't select this in either 64 or 32 bit mode.
I have the same problem with Photoshop. Now this isn't a major problem as I can use the Premium Luster as a alternative and it works fine.
I have profiles for the Matte paper available, but it makes no difference
I just wondered why I couldn't select the Matte option. It has been suggested that It wont appear unless I have the Matte Black cartridge installed, but I was of the opinion this cart was for uncoated stock, which I thought the Epson matte paper wasn't.
Any ideas???
John C

John, you need to do two things.
First, you need to insert the Matte Black cart. Whatever you may have heard elsewhere, Matte Black is not solely for printing on uncoated stock. It is for printing on whatever papers were designed to be used with Matte Black inks, whether coated or not. Enhanced Matte (a.k.a. Archival Matte, Ultra Premium Presentation Paper Matte), Velvet Fine Art, UltraSmooth Fine Art, Entrada, Photo Rag, etc. are all coated on the printing surface and are designed to be used with Matte Black.
Second, you need to visit the Page Setup dialog box and make sure you have the appropriate paper feed selected. Otherwise you won't have access to all of the matte black-compatible media types, such as Velvet Fine Art.

Epson 2880 Print Paper Profiles

Hi Folks,
I just bought an Epson 2880 printer and also downloaded some Icc paper profiles for it from Epson. On install(double-clicking) on the zipped files all but one of them went through and install process, and now show up when I select printer profiles from within Photoshop CS4. The other just unzipped a file that was put into my downloads folder and says, "colorsync" on it. Where should this Icc profile be placed so it shows up properly in my CS4 profile selections?
Many thanks for any assistance.
Jim

John-Thanks, I thought that was where I should be putting them. After I wrote this note I put the icc profile into my color sync folder and it does show up from within PS 4 as it should.
Thanks again for your help.
Jim

I have a fairly new 27" iMac running Mac OS10.6.7, I'm trying to print to an Epson Stylus Pro 3800 via an in-house wireless network. I have installed the latest Epson drivers.

I have a fairly new iMac running OS 10.6.7. Im trying to print to an Epson Stylus Pro 3800 via an in-house wireless internet. I have installed the latest drivers. It was working a couple of months ago. My wife is on the same network using a MacBook Pro and the same OS and is having no problem.

I have been using an Epson 3800 with my I Mac for four years and up untill I upgraded to OSX Lion the only problem I had was colour issues associated with some ICC profiles. After upgrading to Lion and downloading the latest OSX update (10th May) I could not print.
One of the problms was that the print settings continuously defaulted to:
Page Setup: Sheet Feeder
Media Type: Ultra Premium Photo Paper Luster
I would change the settings to what I wanted, I saved them selected Print. My printer promptly started changing from Matte ink (what I had set my print setting s for) to Photo Black.
After trying all i could to correct this. I finally gave up and rang the Epson Helpline. After 3 telephone calls over a day and a half during which I was talked through the procedure you described, the problems were still not resolved.
My contact on the Epson Helpline then tried to simulate the problem on his MAC. He discovered that he had the same problem the print settings would not save, albeit on a Epson 3880 driver. He then advised me that the problem was not with thw Epson Drivers it was a MAC/Apple problem.
I then rang the Apple Helpline (at £1.35 a minute) described the problem and was eventually put through to a supervisor. Who asked me to send her a set of screen shots describing the problem, This I have done, I have received an acknowledgement of receipt and have been advised that I should get a response within two working days.
I am waiting hopefully.
I have tried to print both via CS5 and Aperture the problem is the same in both instances.

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.

Trying to Print Via my epson 3880

I'm trying to print using my epson 3880 but once i get through to select the paper i want to use i only have options to use epson photographic paper, and I've got other papers that i want to use. does anyone have any ideas what i can do?
thanks guys and girls

Generally, there are two issues. First, you must know which paper to select, and second you must specify a feed-method that allows the paper you want to be in the list.
Second thing first, as it's more tricky.
The paper selection in the "Media Type" drop-down of the Epson 3880 Print dialog (the second print dialog presented when printing from Aperture) is limited by the selection you make for "Paper Size" in the Printer section of the Aperture "Print" dialog. To get "Fine Art" papers to show (and be selectable) in the Media Type drop-down, you must specify a Paper Size that allows those papers. Anything marked "Manual" should suffice.
An example will be helpful . I print most of my work on Epson's Hot Pressed paper, which I purchase in boxes of sheets. If I am printing to 8 ½ x 11 inch sheets, I do the following:
In Aperture, in the Printer section of the Print dialog, I select "US Letter (Manual - Rear)":
(This is the key. Selecting "US Letter" will not allow me to specify the paper I want.)
When I click the button "Print", another Print dialog opens. This one is specific to the printer (in this case, the Epson 3880). In that dialog, I specify for "Media Type" on the "Basic" tab of the "Printer Settings" tab of the "Print" dialog "Hot Press Bright":
This shows in the drop-down menu, along with other papers which must be fed manually:
I hope that helps. Non-Epson papers should come with instructions telling you the paper to select. For instance, I also print to Hahnemühle Harman low-gloss papers. These specify that I select "Ultra Premium Photo Paper Luster", which I do:
In the above dialogs, you can see that I have created printer presets for the papers I regularly use.

Samsung 2493HM, Epson 2880 CS4 Profile Problems

Hardware
Datacolor Spyder2
Samsung 2493HM
Epson 2880
Windows XP SP3
ATI HD 5670
Using DVI not HDMI
For months I've been printing using a photo lab with no problems. I finaly replaced my old Epson R280 with a R2880. I've loaded the icc profiles for the printer and Epson Ultra Lustre Paper, ran the Spyder calibration but am still getting prints that are one or two stops darker than the proof view using the icc profile.
I'm set to North American PrePress2, aRGB, No printer color Management, Black Point Compression, Show Paper Color, picked the icc profile for the paper at the quality setting I'm using (Photo or Super).
My monitor's calibrated to D65, gamma of 2.2.
I suspect the monitor is off and the printer is fine. the monitor lists the contrast ratio of 20,000:1 and it normally outputs 400 cd/m^2. So it is quite a bright monitor. Other people I have sent images to that look fine on my display comment that they are dark on theirs.
And yes, adobe gamma is gone.
My ambient lighting is very low (my basement with a 13W 2700K Compact Flourescent) in a Luxo lamp but I judge proofs using my North facing window upstairs.
What steps should I be taking to verify the source(s) of the problem?

From an Adobe Print engineer. Hope this helps.
He's got his monitor set to "as bright as the sun" brightness (as witnessed by "everyone else think my images look too dark.")
Turn down the monitor brightness and everything will work fine.

CS3, Epson 2880 - Dark Prints

Hopefully some one might be able to help as I am a tad stumped with a problem of dark prints from CS3 on an Epson 2880.
Macbook Pro with 10.4 Tiger
I have a calibrated monitor
CS3 setup with American Prepress colour settings
Raw picture imported into CS3 with Adobe RGB profile
So I edit the picture as required and then open the print window where I tell photoshop to manage the colours and select the correct ICC profile for my printer and paper. I then go to the Epson print driver and select the correct media type and turn off colour management.
The picture that is printed is 1 to 2 stops darker than what is should be.
Now the strange thing is if I use the Epson Print Plug-in the picture that it displays is generally dark like the print output.
If I didnt know better I would say that another ICC profile is being applied to the picture as it moves either to the print driver or to the Epson Plug-in.
If I check the picture in CS3 with proofing then I get a small colour change as expected but not the dark print that comes out.
Any suggestions much appreciated as this is doing my head in.

Please do a forum search. There are already at least two other threads on the subject of dark prints.
Here are examples:

Photoshop CC printing is dark on Epson 2880

I just upgraded to PS CC, and when I print the image is dark. I use an Epson 2880. I have called Epson customer service; not resolved. I have the PS CC print settings as "Photoshop manages colour". Does anyone have a suggestion?

Epson is having a lot of problems with their printer drivers on MacOS 10.9.
Check with Epson for updated drivers.

LR 4 only prints a blank page on Epson 2880. Print preview panes remain blank. Window 7 OS. Need help desperately!

Thank you for your kind consideration of my problem. Up until the software started to print blank pages the preview pane always showed the selected print within the selected layout. Something has changed. Lightroom will print to the JPEG file but only a blank page on the Epson 2880. I've been in contact with Epson support and an IT tech and they tell me the problem is with Lightroom. I'm at my wits end and thinking of upgrading but the glitch may carry over. Uninstalling and reinstalling and deleting the preferences file did nothing to rectify the situation.
Thanks again!

Epson names their printers (in addition to numbers). What is your printer designation?

Trouble printing with Epson 2880 and SL

Installed SL on my MBP but not my iMac yet as it is my main computer for printing with Aperture. I have been very happy with the 2880 and how well the prints match what I see on the screen (calibrated with i1d2). Well with SL I downloaded rosetta and the new 2880 drivers (as instructed by Epson), but whenever I choose a paper profile e.g., Premium Photo Glossy, the picture in Aperture Print Pane turns a purple hue. I, of course, have color management turned off in the Print Settings dialog. Anyone have any idea what is going on? As far as I can tell I'm not doing anything differently. More importantly, has anyone been able to get good photo printing with SL, Aperture and the new Epson drivers for the 2880 or similar Epson printer?
Thanks, Jim

That KB article just saved me from going back to 10.5. I was having the same purple problem with all Ilford and Hahnemuhle profiles.
That problem is now gone (by just disabling Black Point Compensation) but: when trying to print from Aperture (2.1.4) with my R2880, any paper I choose is apparently stuck at +roll paper+, giving a +wrong source+ error when it reaches the printer. I now have to hit preview, select the correct page setup and profile and print from there. So far this seems to work. But it's a pain and not what I want to be stuck doing for very long.
I had this problem before but only when printing to Manual-Roll. Now even Sheet Feeder options don't work. This would all be fixed if we only had a proper Page Setup option in Aperture as in every other OS X application...
At least that convoluted method gives me the right colors - which I was definitely not getting by going the system managed route.
Growing pains anyone?

Problem with printing 6x4 from Photoshop CS5 to Epson 2880

Hi,
bit of an odd one. I can print A3 and A4 no problem, but when I try to print a 6 x 4 it looks like the printer is not reconising the size of the paper. It prints the image the right size, but as though it were printing it on a larger sheet of paper, in the left hand side with a a 5cm space to the right (which is actually the top of the image).
I have set the printer to 6 x 4 for both image and paper.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I have an Epson 2200, but am assuming the drivers and print dialog accesing that driver and ICC profiles are very similar to Epson's 2880, which is the same size as the 2200.
In order to print 6 x 4, whish isn't a standard page size in the print dialogs, are you setting up a custom page size? (Print > Print Settings > Page Size > Manage Custom Sizes) - This works fine here, but if the paper is the wrong size, it won't print. The print driver requires that the paper size actually be 6 x 4.
Of course, an alternative approach might be to print on a standard paper size, maybe adding trim marks, and then cutting the page down to 6 x 4 after printing.
If none of this helps, I suggest you contact Epson's tech support.
