Re: Question about QTR Print Tool and color

2012-11-10 by Eric Brody

Hi JP,

I have used the QTR print tool only a couple of times and the color images I've gotten were quite a bit lighter than my usual workflow, so I cannot really comment on the tool. That's a question for another time. I have done my color printing with the standard CS6 workflow.

I use the same basic setup as you do, a 3800 with CS6 on a Mac Pro with OSX 10.7.5 Lion.

In the CS6 print dialog at the top, Printer Setup, it is set to Epson Stylus Pro 3800. It does tell you "Remember to disable the printer's color management in the print settings dialog box." I show this in my second screen shot.



In the print settings I set it as seen below. Color handling is set to "Photoshop manages colors." I then set the profile for the paper I'm using.



When I do this, I get nice color prints. 

Let me know if this is helpful or if you need something more.

Best,

Eric
