Hello All,
Yesterday I received my Epson Stylus Photo R800 printer. After
unpacking, installation and making some testprints, I printed a target
for PrintFixPro. Today I made the profile and when I use it with PSCS2
I am very glad with the results, but.... when I set PSCS2 to "no color
management" and set the driver to "ICM" and assigning the newly made
profile to be used by this driver, I get a terrible brownish color all
over the photo. Can someone explain how I can make a profile, like the
epson delivered profiles for use within the driver software. I use this
homemade profile while I use non Epson paper. ( As far as I can see,
there is no double profiling going on....??).
Thanks in advance for your reply.

I may be stating the obvious, but the PFP profile is assigned in
Photoshop so that Photoshop controls the printer and in the printer
driver ICM is checked and also "No color management."

Your friend in Photography,

Johnny
