I remember seeing a discussion regarding the differences between sending
your files through the Epson driver with "No Color Adjustment" vs.
"Automatic". Sending through "Automatic" certainly yields a much smoother
print, but de-saturated to holy hell. Printing through Photoshop through
the printer profile and then setting the Epson driver to "No Color
Adjustment" gives me a pretty nice image except for some rough transitions
in darker areas of the image. For example in the PhotoDisc test image, the
bottom left image of the girl has some wacky things going on in the
shadows...rough transitions on her left cheek.
My rather long winded question is this: What can I do in profiling my Epson
to give me the smoothness of "automatic" while retaining the color fidelity
of "no color adjustment". I see these rough transitions both in the Epson
supplied profile and the custom one I made with ColorBlind. The custom
profile is nearly dead on with the color...but I'm a bit bothered by the
posterizing going on in the shadows. You wouldn't profile the device
through "automatic" would you? This seems to defy logic, but is there some
way to eliminate (or at least greatly reduce) the posterizing I'm seeing? I
can see how automatic might be a better choice for printing B&W.
