Green/Yellow Tint after Profiling a 2200

2007-07-16 by Martin Carrington

Hi All,

Just aquired PrintfixPRO with the intent of profiling some papers 
that I have been none too happy colorwise with. Details as follows:

225 patch target
2200, OEM Inks
Epson Premium Luster with PK Ink
Epson Velvet Fine Art with MK Ink

Monitor calibrated with Spider 2

I compared the results (with no profile tweaks, to the stock Epson 
profiles, and in the case of the EPL, with a custom profile from Dry 
Creek.

The PrintfixPRO profiles were as good or better than all the others, 
however, all of the profiles (PrintFixPRO, Epson snd Dry Creek) 
resulted in prints with a slight yellow/green tint - this was the 
reason for purchasing PFPRo in the first place.

Question: Seems at first that it is a monitor calibration issue, 
however, if I compare the monitor image to the actual scene (as I 
remember), it seems fairly close. Seems like all the profiles have a 
green/yellow shift.

In the PF Pro profiles I corrected using the -12 Green, -8 Yellow and 
brightness +2. Resultant prints are to my eye now excellent. 

Anyone else had this issue with the 2200 with OEM inks? Should I 
consider borrowing a different screen calibration device?

Any advice appreciated!

Regards
