printer color balance [was Re: "proofing lights"]

2002-05-19 by Bob Frost

Does anyone know if the European Epson printers/drivers produce a different
color balance to the American ones? I have read that the japanese themselves
prefer a different color balance in their own models of Epson printers. If
there were some subtle differences between the European and American
printers (apart from obvious things like paper sizes), that might account
for the fact that some people report good results and others bad results
with the same ink/paper/profile combinations on a particular printer. As
well as making it more difficult for European users of quad inks to use Paul
Roark's curves.

Just a thought.

Bob Frost.
