Re: Green/Yellow Tint after Profiling a 2200

2007-08-29 by bwinkjet

Will,

Try printing with a generic profile, such as Epson's on Epson paper, 
and see if the yellow/green problem is still there.  If so, it may be 
your eyes, viewing light, or difference in tranmission color vs 
reflective color.  I have worked on this with two printers (2200 and 
3800) and have seen colorvision test prints from other large format 
printers (Epson's).  My conclusion is that PFP has a mild yellow 
emphasis, but knowing this I have no trouble adding a bit of cyan and 
a bit of blue (3 to 4 units on the sliders and setting the reference 
white to 0 if the reading is a b negative number (blue).  Quite happy 
with the set up.  Only problem I have is getting the Dmax to match 
the canned profiles Dmax on the papers I use. (yes David, I use 
Saturation as my intent without BP compensation checked ;-)
