Some quick background. Windows 64. Spyder3Print 4.2.2. Epson 4800 w/custon inkset from Cone. I use the DataColor Spectrocolormeter 1005. The last profile I made was Oct 2011 and I still use the profile today with Canson Platine Photo Rag-great consistant output from this profile. I generally print through Lightroom.
Recently I have been wanting to create a color profile for Canson Baryta Photographique (which I use for B&W w/Piezography in a seperate printer). Last month, I made sure I had a good nozzle check & printed some images(on the Platine) for a club meeting. No problems. So I then opened up S3P and steped through the process of making the targets(on the Canson Baryta) to profile using the 729 EZ w/extended greys (9 letter size sheets). I set the sheets aside for a month(in a drawer) out of sunlight. Last night I opened up S3P and stepped through the process to read the targets to create a profile. When it came to making the print(from the image in S3P) to evaluate the image looked as it should. I stepped through the printer set up dialog settings w/No Color Adjustment, Photo Luster 260, etc but when I hit the print button, the image looked like there was a red gel over everything. I made a print and it printed that way. It had a title in the lower left coner: SPTemp730213.icm, Relative Colormetric (with the date) 2/18/2015, 4:46PM-but it was printed on the 17th.
I thought I did something wrong and went back through the help file but didn't find anything. After I got home from work tonight, I re read the targets, gave it a new name w/todays(18FEB15) date and continued on to make another print of the S3P image. Same thing as before. When I chose the target (dated 18FEB15) to print, stepped through the printer set up process and once again the image changed from the normal look to one that was the same as last night. Red. I then went through the process of making adjustments and got the red from the image and named what I thought would be a profile. I then printed it out. The print came out as before, with a red tinge and with none of the corrections I had made Oddly,the title for the profile that I named was not printed but the EXACT same title in the lower left corner (including the date,correct this time)as from the first print I made the night before. I feel like it's double profiling, but how can that be? Neither PS or LR was running.and I've never had this kind of a problem before.
What am I doing wrong?
