Help: creating ICC profiles with PrintFix Pro + Epson 3800

Help: creating ICC profiles with PrintFix Pro + Epson 3800

2008-01-25 by digiman69

I red all the suggested step in this forum on how correctly creating 
ICC profile with the PrintFix Pro recently bought it.

I calibrated it with the white point on the base before measuring the 
patches/target (the 225 targets one).
I select from the Epson 3800 driver utility OFF as colour management 
and followed all the steps correctly as indicated. The patches were 
visibly not so much different respect to the calibration after the 
measurement, so I think my printer should be ok (its's new and I 
obvioulsy done all the tests and settings before printing).

When I set the ICC profile created for the Epson Ultra Glossy paper 
on the driver of the 3800 (colour management section the same where I 
select OFF to print the target)I then got a totally dark print, 
printing for photoshop. My Photoshop settings are: Photoshop to 
manage colur - ICC profile selected - relative colorimetric.

What's wrong?
Thanks all
Gian Paolo

What you appear to be describing here is choosing the profile in the driver settings, and in Photoshop settings as well. If that true, thats wrong. If you chose no color management (or similar wording) in the driver settings, and your profile in Photoshop's dialog box, then that should be correct.
