Re: Advice about Spyder3Studio

2009-06-09 by christoph fischer

ok. i repeat, what i've written in my very recent posts:  my printer (epson2100) produces a cyan-green color cast . spyderprint turns it in a green-yellow cast and blue becomes purple (also see message 3386). i understand how the application is working, i understand the manual etc. the swiss supporters examined my printer and the spyder device which seemed to functioning correctly. we discussed the problem and questions of drivers and settings (photoshop manages colors, no
color adjustment by the driver etc), however there was no solution. 

- i've tried a lot of different driver settings as well as the gimp print driver. the color cast is clearly visible in every case. The epson support said there might be a problem with the datacolor software or device; the swiss datacolor support said, there might be a problem with the epson 2100...
 i hope to find some better answers here. 

- as we know, x-rite products allow this printer to print blue color. how is it possible to achieve it with spyderprint?
thanks for your help.
