Epson Gray Balancer issue

Epson Gray Balancer issue

2003-12-11 by ned_otter

Greetings --

Perhaps someone out there can shed some light on this issue --

I have a new Epson 2200, and have downloaded the English Gray 
Balancer software, and acquired the Kodak Q13 reference chart. 

No problem printing the test image, but *none* of the Gray Balancer 4 
point adjustments will print. When attempting to print them, I 
receive the following error: 

"EPDI API error" 

I tried diabling anti-virus software, but no dice. The same problem 
happens with the French version of GB as well. 

I'm running an AMD XP Ahtlon +1900 on Windows 2000, with 512 MB RAM. 

Anyone got a clue as to what might be going on here? 


Thanks, 


Ned Otter

i have no clue what that could mean.
but if you are trying to use grey balancer to get
neutral B&W out of a 2200, it will not work.
believe me, many many many have tried and it is not
the solution for neutral B&W. trust me.

I am unable to offer a suggestion on why the print problem but, 
having used Grey Balancer before, may I respectfully suggest that you 
save yourself unnecessary aggravation, paper cost and ink cost by not 
attempting to use it -- it will not give you a neutral print and was 
one of Epson's Bad Ideas.
