I am a working commercial photographer using a calibrated workflow
(spectrophotometer monitor calibrations, custom output profiles).
With a recent Mac OS 10.5.8 (main workstation) and 10.6.21 (laptop)
security update installation, my profiles will no longer hook up to
my files as I print. At least it looks that way. I am having this
problem an Epson 7600 (photoblack pigment ink) and with an old 1270.
(I also use a more current Epson 7800 (matte black pigment ink) which
I haven't tested yet). I get very dark contrasty, perhaps a "preserve
color numbers" looking print output regardless of the profile
applied. If I move the file to a OS 10.4 machine it all works fine,
just as it always has. Epson is not likely to upgrade these drivers
but this seems like an OS change that may have obsoleted the drivers
somehow. I have researched online and duplicated the profiles to
another folder, to no avail. Soft proofing assigning these same
profiles shows the same flawed result. In querying Apple support,
others have apparently had this problem but I have not discovered a
reason much less a solution. I know they are old printers but they
work beautifully for me and I would rather not take them to the
landfill for more than practical reasons. Any Ideas?
