re: iBook+Nikon+Epson

Hi Patricia. I have had excellent results with my and LS 8000 and my Epson 1280.

I made my own scanner and printer profiles with CompassProfile. I'm still testing my scanner workflow. I use either:

1. Profile the scanner with the Color Management set to use the ScannerRGB profile and all settings flat, except for maybe Digital ICE. Make profiles for any different settings like ICE. When I open the files in Photoshop, I Assign the custom scanner profile and convert to DonRGB. DonRGB encompasses both the scanner and printer spaces nicely.

2. Forget about using my custom profile and use Wide Gamut RGB in the Nikon Scan software and capture either 8 bit or 14 bit. Open in Photoshop and convert to Don RGB. Convert to 8 bit color if desired for more editing controls.

3. When printing turn off the Epson color management when creating the printer profiles, and use the custom profile when printing from Photoshop. Match paper/resolution settings when printing to whatever was used when creating the profile.

I haven't attempted to characterize my iBook display, as I use my QuickSilver and Sony GDM F-500R for image work.

Kind of a funny thing, I have never even attempted to use the Epson Color settings. I am so satisfied with the results I get with this procedure. I made a print using only black ink yesterday for the first time ever. I have had the printer 10 months!
