Using Gimp-Print 4.26. and OS 10.2.6, I printed ECI2000 and TC 9.18 targets on an Epson 870. The pages were output out of QuarkXPress 6 with color management disabled (turned off in preferences).
The settings were:
Photo Paper
1440 x 720 (highest quality)
Photograph
Eventone Dither Algorithm
Six Color Photo
Raw CMYK for the ECI2000 and Color for the TC 9.18. Output was seasoned for several days.
I'm concerned because the target printouts are obviously skewed, and I can generate excellent profiles using the Epson driver. There are numerous light patches where there is no visible color. Target charts printed from the Epson driver (with no color management) are considerably darker.
I haven't yet reprinted the targets out of Photoshop (which I trust -- I'm still experimenting with Quark 6' s output), but my intention is to optimize them for use (particularly the CMYK) when printing from Quark.
Any clues before going off into a paper-wasting episode? Assuming that I can get a usable printout, what is the preferred dither algorithm -- adaptive hybrid, Eventone, or ???
