Hi everyone
I'm hoping that someone can shed some light on a condition I have been
experiencing with an Epson 2200 every time I attempt to use colorsync. I
am a photographer. I capture images using a Kodak DCS 14n. I take these
images and put them into a Mac G4, OS X 10.3.1. After I get the images
in using Kodak's software I open then in PhotoShop 7 and work on them.
Everything looks great on the monitor, a Panasonic PanaSync S21. If I
print the image to a Canon i550 using colorsync, it works well. When I
try to print the same image using the Epson 2200 with colorsync, the
color is off, usually on the too much magenta side. In PhotoShop, the
Conversion options Engine = ColorSync and the color sync options are
selected in the Epson printer driver. I am using Epson papers and inks -
and the newest versions of Epson's drivers. I can not get colorsync to
work correctly on the Epson 2200. So, the Canon works, the Epson
doesn't work.
When I turn off all colorsync options in Phtotshop and use the
Conversion Engine = Adobe ACE and "No Color Adjustment" in the printer
driver (Epson help file recommends not to do this but Epson Tech support
suggested I do), it works. It's not perfect but I can live with it and
compensate for it on my own to produce good output product.
After reading the correspondence on this site and my own experiences
thus far, it seems that color management as advertised by the
manufactures is all bunk - unless of coarse if one pays a consultant to
come in and do whatever they do. But reading some of these messages on
this site, even the hard core experts have a difficult time with it.
Anyway, I can get close, but I can never get the printer to print
what is on the screen exactly with either printer I'm sure the monitor
I'm using has something to do with that issue. I also tried the Monaco
calibration system. That was a waste of my time . I simply could not get
the Monaco product to work.
So, I'm hoping that someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong with
colorsync. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
