It's not exactly my idea of fun color managing low-end (i.e.,
non-Professional Graphics inkjets) Epsons but I need an authoritative answer
regarding some very simple Epson driver ICC color management functions. I
don't want to limit my questions to a specific driver as this question
applies to ALL Epson drivers. Here are my questions:
1) When you select the ColorSync radio button, the driver looks to your
ColorSync printer profile, right? So what effect (if any) does the "Profile"
pop-up menu (in the Epson driver) have? Is this a device link profile? You
can't see other ICC printer profiles located in your ColorSync Profiles
folder from this pop-up menu; you only see "EPSON Standard" and three other
CSW profiles. Why are only these profiles visible? The paper type device
link makes sense; it controls how much ink the system delivers to the paper,
so what's with the Profile menu?
2) When outputting testcharts, I've heard that you get better results and
profiles when using RGB testcharts rather than CMYK. Which should be used
and why?
3) Does ICC profiling (ColorSync method) or 'Epson color adjustment' yield
better results on these low-end little monsters? I'd like the honest, "I've
been through it and this is how it works in the real world" answer here.
Please no theories.
Thanks.
