Digital BW, The Print

If I remember back to PS 7, Adobe Gamma is loaded or defaulted. It can
easily be turned off in the msconfig/startup menu. The profiles from Red
River like any provided profile may be very close and may not be; the ones
that I have used from Red River seems pretty darn good for free. If you are
using the wrong profile, ie bad color can happen such as PK with an MK
profile or flipped. 

 

I found that I got good color, or lack thereof with printer profile set to
same as source within PS and with a gray gamma 2.2 file. The Epson driver is
set to no color management. You do need to make some adjustments with the
ABW settings to achieve a good print. 

 

What have you done to select a tone? Cool? Neutral? Warm? Any settings?

I was just reading elsewhere about how to run msconfig to make sure 
that Adobe Gamma is disabled in startup. When I bought a 
calibration device I assumed it would over-ride / disable Adobe 
Gamma. Is it possible that Adoble Gamma has been loaded all this 
time? I'll check it out when I get home.

I used the epson profiles for the premium lustre samples which came 
with the printer and I used the profiles Red River supplies on their 
website for the papers. 

I'm curious to know if it's something in photoshop?
I've been thinking that I should also try opening a file straight 
from the camera into MS photo editor and print with ABW set in the 
print driver and see what happens.
