Re: I Am Stumped with Epson R1800, CS3 and OS X 10.5.4 -Dark and Orange shift.

2008-08-17 by grandpollo

I am using CS3 10.0.1 which is the latest version of Photoshop.

I am using the Epson profile ( the Premium Glossy) in the Epson print
driver and the Colorvision profile with Photoshop.

If I use the Epson ICC profile for the paper the results are OK. 

I just remade the profile from the test print yesterday and the
results are the same this morning. The upper right quadrant test from
PrintFix - the four people for testing flesh tones printed OK from
within PrintFix.

The ICC profile that I just made ten minutes ago, when used in PS
printed with the same driver settings did not print properly as with
previous tests.
