Re: Printing with "Color Controls" in the Epson driver

2011-01-21 by Paul

I don't seem to have a "Color Matching" item or menu in Windows -- or or I don't know where to look.

With the print preview, I can get to the "Color Contorls," but when I hit "print" it goes back to the preview and that resets to "Photoshop manages colors" which, in turn, resets the driver to "No Color Adjustment."  I'm guessing the PS folks don't want people using ICCs with "color controls."

It looks like if I use File>Print One Copy it bypasses the preview and uses something that may be either the default printer settings or the last setup in the preview.  Oddly, the Lab L curve with CS5 "print one copy" is actually more linear than when CS4 uses the "Color Controls, gamma 2.2."  So, some more experimenting is needed.

It could be some weird setup in my system, but so far I have not found what that might be.
