Hi folks,
In early 2001 I purchased an Epson Stylus Color 900. On the advise of
this list I had a profile made for it at ProfileCity.com, and the
results were great. All these years I have been able to make
beautiful prints and be very comfortable with the screen-to-printer
color accuracy, and the jobs that eventually went to press had
excellent results.
Lately I have noticed a drift in the color accuracy of the prints
towards the blue. I'm sure that both the monitor and the printer
experience drift as they age, but I open my Photoshop documents from
that time and the color still looks great on my monitor, so I'm
tending to think that the drift is more in the printer.
Any opinions?
A few details:
I'm a home based free lancer, so obviously I'd like to keep this
equipment going as long as possible.
I have one dead red "jet" in the printer head (I have tried the head
cleaning cartridges) resulting in one missing "step" in the print
pattern.
My monitor is a 20" Sony Trinitron Multiscan20seII, purchased in late
2000. I used to use a calibration bug, but I got pretty good at
adjusting the color so when the software went obsolete in 2001 I just
continued to do the calibration by hand. Once I had everything
working so sweetly, I just left everything alone.
OS 9.1
Thank you,
Tom
