I too have profiled both kinds of Espon 10,000s and have not had this
problem. We are using Relcolor as the intent at this site.
I have just returned from my client who is now a little happier but I used
my DTP 41 UV to create a better Epson 10,000 pigment ink profile. The main
difference is how the gray scale in my test image reproduces. The profile
that was made with the UV filter creates better light to dark transitions
in the Photoshop created 11 step gray scale. What I mean is that now each
step is more of the same value of gray instead of having various steps of
pink or blue. This new printed image made that used the profile made with
the UV filter still has a problem with the neutral gray but its about 50%
better and is definitely will be easier to correct. The only difference is
in the profiling process is the measuring tools, Eyeone vs the Xrite.
As I am taking a closer look at the problem, there are some other factors
that have come to bear. The client is extremely picky and I personally think
they expect too much from profiling, even through realistic expectations
were established up front. For example today they were complaining that
their camera profiles were off by 2 levels in one color of their the midtone
neutral grays and they wanted to return the camera module thinking it was
broken. After the problem was easily fixed they calmed down. The other
factor is that they are all hung up on one type of paper to use for these
initial tests. I am having a hard time to get them to try other papers like
a matte or semi gloss. They seem to think that if this problem happens with
one paper it will be in them all - not. .I feel quite confident the Eyeone
will work with little problem with other types of papers, but the Eyeone
ain't cutting it on the Glossy film paper.
Thanks for the insight and help.
