Thanks for the replies, Ive tried printing raw RGB target with management
off in OS9 and X, Photoshop 7 and 6 with identical results. Funny if you
open the raw RGB file and apply the Epson canned profile to the scan it has
the same horrible effect as my own profile. Almost as if its been left out
in the sun but with added green..Actually newspaper print profile looks
better! I'm about to try and output via a RIP to see if there is an
improvement, just in case its an Epson Quickdraw driver thing, but that
shouldn9t effect Assign Profile.
Regards,
Peter
