HI Rob,
I'm on a the low rung of expertise on this list, however, I have a setup
similar to yours and will share my experience. I just got the 2200, use
colorsync, and the color is just great.
Maybe I just got lucky with this, or maybe it's because I upgraded
everything this year and that's made the difference.
I have (all new this year) -
Olympus C 5050
NEC MultiSync FP912 monitor
One-Eye monitor calibration system
Epson 2200 with Epson inks and Epson Professional Matte paper
I also use a Mac4 with OSX.3.1
I edit in Photoshop 7 using the Eye-One calibration for the profile.
With this setup it's the first time I haven't been in a color mess. Since
it's doing so well using Colorsync, I use it exclusively. All I can do is
thank the gods (many of whom are on this list) for their hardware
suggestions. Maybe I got lucky, got the right combination of things that
talk to each other and it's working.

Hi everyone

I'm hoping that someone can shed some light on a condition I have been

When I turn off all colorsync options in Phtotshop and use the

compensate for it on my own to produce good output product.

So, I'm hoping that someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong with

colorsync. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
