Digital BW, The Print

>>I am new to the group and new to printing high quality images.  I  
just received my Epson R2880 and am loving it.  I am trying to get  
acclimated to the printer.  One question I have.  My monitor is color  
calibrated and I am using Photoshop CS3 for all my color corrections.   
Should I disable the color management system on the R2880?  Is this  
CMS basically just ruining all the adjustments I make in Photoshop?   
Any help would be appreciated.    >>

Photoshop color management assures that your images are color managed  
from original source, through workingspace, and all the way to output,  
if you choose to use it for output.

But you need to choose: you can use your epson printer's output color  
management, and it's canned profiles (which are triggered from the  
driver's media setting) and set Photoshop to "printer color  
management"  or you can use Photoshop's color management, with canned  
profiles or custom profiles, and set the driver to "no color  
management" or equivalent.

The advantage of the latter is the ability to use custom profiles, for  
non-Epson papers or inks. Plus the ability to proof to your profile in  
advance...
